In short

Google Labs developed the platform so users can produce interactive utilities, such as savings trackers and dinner polls, by simply submitting ideas, files, or links. Participants can work together simultaneously in each generated space much like editing a collaborative text document. Design and engineering lead Roman Nurik highlighted that spaces can be quickly shared directly into group chats. The experimental service is currently restricted to adults based in the United States via a waitlist.

Google has cooked up a new experimental AI tool called Tabletop that generates customized collaborative hubs to help you coordinate with family, and friends. The Tabletop platform shares some visual similarities with workplace management apps like Asana and Monday, but with a built-in AI feature that allows you to vibecode personalized interactive tools by describing them, such as savings trackers, chore charts, event plans, and more.

“Just add in your links, files and ideas, then prompt @tabletop — or pick a starter template — to generate custom interactive trip itineraries, dinner polls, expense splitters and tournament brackets,” Google Labs design and engineering lead Roman Nurik said in the blog post. “Once your space is ready, drop the invite link in your group chat to let everyone jump in and use it at the same time like a Google Doc.”
