Google is introducing Tabletop today, a Google Labs experiment that lets groups create interactive tools such as trip itineraries and dinner polls, then use them together in real time. Access is rolling out through a waitlist in the U.S. for people aged 18 and older.
To build a space, users supply their own files, links and ideas, then ask @tabletop to generate an interactive tool. A starter template offers another way to get a space going without beginning with a prompt. Google’s examples also include tools for splitting expenses and creating tournament brackets.

Once a space is ready, its creator can share an invitation link through a group chat so others can join. Participants can work in the space simultaneously, an approach Google compares to collaborating in a Google Doc.
Google presents Tabletop as a way to coordinate activities including family travel, recreational leagues and potluck meals. People can sign up for the waitlist now, though the announcement does not say when waitlist users will get access.
