Try Tabletop: Customizable, collaborative spaces for groups to plan, play and do more together.

What happened

Google Labs has launched Tabletop, a new experiment that lets groups collaborate in real‑time by creating interactive itineraries, polls, expense splitters and tournament brackets. Users add links, files and ideas, then either prompt @tabletop or choose a starter template to generate a shared space, which can be accessed via an invite link similar to a Google Doc. The tool is currently rolling out in the U.S. for users 18 and older through a waitlist, with sign‑up available at labs.google/tabletop. It also incorporates the Gemini Decisions API, powered by the Gemini Decision model for fast multimodal decisions.

Why it matters

It makes group planning tasks like trips, potlucks or league schedules easier by centralising input and decisions, saving time for everyday users. By handling coordination in one place, it reduces the back‑and‑forth of separate messages and spreadsheets.

Incremental. Tabletop builds on existing collaborative document concepts with added templates and AI‑generated content, but it is not a fundamentally new technology.
