Google Labs has introduced Tabletop, an experimental AI tool that lets users create custom collaborative spaces for group planning, rolling out via a U.S. waitlist to people 18 and older.
Google has launched Tabletop, an experimental AI tool from Google Labs that generates customizable, collaborative spaces for group planning and coordination. The announcement was made on November 11, 2026, by Roman Nurik, design and engineering lead at Google Labs.
Users add links, files and ideas to a workspace, then prompt @tabletop or choose a starter template to generate interactive tools. Examples include trip itineraries, dinner polls, expense splitters and tournament brackets. Once a space is created, the creator shares an invite link through a group chat, and multiple participants can use the space at the same time, similar to editing a Google Doc.
Participants can also ask @tabletop to change a rule, reshape a tab or build something new as plans evolve. One demonstration turns a Pong tab into Pickle Pong, replacing the ball with a bouncing pickle and adding a live court scoreboard. Another makes a seating chart interactive so guest badges can be dragged between tables.
Tabletop is rolling out through a waitlist at labs.google/tabletop. Access is currently limited to people over the age of 18 in the United States. Google has not announced a general availability date, pricing, supported integrations, or international availability. The company has not said which AI model powers the tool.
Tabletop is part of Google Labs’ exploration of AI-powered interfaces that let users create customized digital experiences through natural-language instructions. By combining natural-language customization with real-time collaboration, Google is testing a new approach to organizing activities, coordinating decisions, and helping groups work together without relying on multiple separate applications.
