Google Tabletop AI experiment lets groups build custom collaboration apps for everyday plans

Planning tools from prompts

Tabletop creates collaborative hubs for personal planning. Its layout has visual similarities to workplace apps such as Asana and Monday, while its built-in AI can generate interactive tools from user descriptions.

Examples include savings trackers, chore charts and event plans. Google also highlights trip itineraries, dinner polls, expense splitters and tournament brackets as possible projects. Users can add links, files and ideas, then prompt Tabletop or choose a starter template. Google Labs design and engineering lead Roman Nurik described those options in a blog post.

Sharing a space with others

After a space is ready, users can share an invitation link in a group chat. Nurik said participants can then use it together at the same time, in a way he compared to a Google Doc. The product is aimed at coordinating with family and friends, rather than only managing workplace tasks.

Beta access has limits

Tabletop’s beta is rolling out through a waitlist and is currently restricted to people over 18 in the US. Some examples shown by Nurik appear to involve children or teenagers, which could limit their use in family planning. The age restriction may be in place during public testing, but Google’s stated reason for the limit was not provided.
