Google’s New Tabletop AI Builds Dinner Polls And Trip Planners For Your Group Chat
Google has launched Tabletop, an AI experiment that builds dinner polls, trip plans, expense splitters and tournament brackets on request, so a whole group can plan things together in one shared space.
Key Takeaways
- Tabletop is a new Google Labs experiment for groups of friends, families or clubs
- Users drop in links, files and ideas, then ask Tabletop to build custom tools for the group
- Everyone invited can work in the same space at once, much like a Google Doc
- It is rolling out in the U.S. to people 18 and older through a waitlist
Google Labs announced Tabletop on Wednesday, pitching it as a way to get a group from “we should totally do that” to actually doing it.
How Tabletop Works
One person sets up a space, adds links, files and ideas, then either asks Tabletop for what the group needs or picks a starter template. They share an invite link in the group chat, and everyone can add to the space at the same time.
Google’s examples include interactive road trip maps, a wheel to decide where to eat, live pickleball brackets, voting boards and expense splitters for a trip, potluck or fantasy league.

Who Built It And Who Can Use It
The project is led by Roman Nurik, design and engineering lead at Google Labs. He showed his own family’s space, with chore charts, a rainy-day scavenger hunt with live scores and a fantasy-book themed trip to New York.
Tabletop is an experiment, not a full product. It is open only in the U.S. for people 18 and older, who can join the waitlist on the Google Labs site. Google has not said whether it will cost anything or when it will reach more countries.
