Google Labs has opened a waitlist for Tabletop, an experimental workspace that lets a group ask AI to build a tool everyone can use together. A group can start with a chat and a collection of links or files, then turn them into a shared trip itinerary, a dinner poll or an expense splitter. Google announced the test Nov. 11 for people in the United States who are 18 or older.

The Tabletop waitlist is open, but the product is invite-only. Google says it plans to admit new users each week. It has given no date for general availability or a price in its announcement. If your group needs a poll or schedule for an event this week, signing up provides no guarantee that you’ll get access in time.

What a group can build together

Tabletop keeps a group chat next to tabs that members can use and change together. Google’s examples include a tournament bracket that the group can update as games finish and a seating chart with names that can be dragged to different tables. Members can start with a template or ask the assistant, called @tabletop, to make or revise a tab from what the group has already shared.

The difference from putting a poll link in a group chat is where the work lives. A group can discuss which stops belong on a road trip, then keep the itinerary in a tab next to that conversation. Google says an organizer can send an invitation link through the group’s existing chat so people can work in the same space at the same time. The Google Labs video shows the workspace, and the original announcement on X gives other examples.

Who can see the space and its files

Google’s Tabletop FAQ says a new space starts out visible only to its creator. People who join can use the shared space, and administrators can change invitation settings. The service also supports private tabs and chat threads for selected members. Its AI can remember details within a space, and members of that space can inspect, change or clear those memories in the shared context panel.

Leaving a group removes the space from your dashboard. The FAQ says messages, tabs and uploads you leave behind remain available to the other members. The same applies if an administrator removes you. If you want to take back a file you posted, the FAQ says you can delete uploaded material from the space while you still have access. When the last member leaves, Google says it deletes the space and its contents.
