Google’s Tabletop AI experiment lets you build custom collaboration apps
Google has released Tabletop, a new Labs experiment that lets groups build custom collaboration tools using AI. The platform creates shared canvases where multiple people can simultaneously plan trips, run polls, track tasks, and organize information together. Access is currently rolling out through a U.S. waitlist. The experiment builds on Google's AI canvas concept by adding real-time multiplayer functionality, allowing participants to interact with AI-generated content and each other in the same space.

Google launches Tabletop AI experiment for building collaborative apps
Google has released Tabletop, a new Labs experiment that lets groups build custom collaboration tools using AI. The platform creates shared canvases where multiple people can simultaneously plan trips, run polls, track tasks, and organize information together. Access is currently rolling out through a U.S. waitlist. The experiment builds on Google's AI canvas concept by adding real-time multiplayer functionality, allowing participants to interact with AI-generated content and each other in the same space.
Why it matters
Tabletop extends Google's experimental AI workspace efforts beyond individual use into group coordination. Unlike standard productivity apps with fixed templates, Tabletop uses generative AI to create custom planning surfaces on demand, itineraries, trackers, polls, that multiple people can edit simultaneously. This positions Google to test how AI-mediated collaboration differs from traditional document sharing, with potential implications for Workspace features if the experiment scales.
