Google tests an AI tool that builds shared planning pages for groups

Google Labs is testing Tabletop, an AI tool that builds shared planning pages for trips, bills and chores. A waitlist beta is open to US adults.

Google has a new experiment called Tabletop. You describe a planning tool in plain words, and AI builds it for you. Then you send a link to your group chat so everyone can use the page together. It is aimed at family and friends, not office teams.

What it does

Tabletop creates shared spaces for personal planning. It looks a bit like work apps such as Asana and Monday. The difference is the built-in AI. You add links, files and ideas, then ask the AI or pick a starter template. This is often called vibecoding, which just means describing what you want and letting the AI build it.

  • Trip itineraries
  • Dinner polls
  • Expense splitters
  • Tournament brackets
  • Savings trackers and chore charts

Google Labs design and engineering lead Roman Nurik said everyone can jump in at the same time, like a Google Doc.

Who can try it

Access is through a waitlist. For now it is limited to people in the US who are over 18. Some of Google's own example uses would involve kids or teens, so The Verge suggests the age limit may only last while the tool is in public testing. That is a guess, not a Google statement.

The material does not say how long the wait is, how many people will get in, or what Tabletop might cost after the beta. It also does not say whether Google plans to keep the tool.

The takeaway

If you plan trips, split bills or run family chores and you are a US adult, the Tabletop waitlist is the way in.
