Making plans with friends and family could become more interactive with Google’s latest experimental AI tool. Google Labs has introduced Tabletop, a collaborative platform that turns links, files and ideas into customisable spaces where people can organise activities and make decisions together in real time.
AI-powered planning and collaboration
Tabletop is designed for everyday group activities rather than traditional workplace productivity. It offers interactive features such as polls, voting, lists and games to make planning easier and more engaging.
Users can add links, files and ideas to a shared Tabletop space. They can then use the AI assistant by typing @tabletop to generate customised interactive content or select from available templates. The resulting space can be edited to suit the group’s requirements.
The tool supports several activities, including planning family trips, creating travel itineraries, tracking flights, preparing packing lists and splitting expenses. It can also generate themed travel spaces based on destinations.
For home activities, users can create household chore charts or organise scavenger hunts. Groups can also build tournament brackets, manage fantasy league drafts and create swipeable voting interfaces to decide where to eat or what to watch.
Participants can react, vote and edit content simultaneously. Once a space is ready, users can share an invitation link through a group chat. Others can open the link and contribute, similar to collaborating on a shared document.
Availability
Google Labs is currently rolling out Tabletop in the US through a waitlist. The experience is available to users aged 18 and above.
Google has not confirmed availability in other markets, including India.
