Google unveils Tabletop, an AI platform for group planning
What's the story
Google has unveiled a new experimental artificial intelligence (AI) tool called Tabletop. The platform is designed to create personalized collaborative hubs for better coordination among family and friends. It offers a built-in AI feature that lets users create interactive tools like chore charts, savings trackers or event plans by simply describing them.
User interface
How does Tabletop work?
Tabletop's interface is similar to workplace management tools such as Asana and Monday, but with an integrated AI feature. This allows users to create customized interactive tools just by describing them.
Google Labs design and engineering lead Roman Nurik explained in a blog post that users can add links, files, and ideas into the platform.
They can then prompt @tabletop or choose a starter template to generate custom interactive trip itineraries, dinner polls, expense splitters, and tournament brackets.
Collaboration
Tool currently available in beta
Once a space is created on Tabletop, users can share the invite link in their group chat. This allows everyone to join and use it simultaneously, just like a Google Doc.
Currently, the beta version of this innovative tool is available through a waitlist and limited to US-based users over 18 years of age.
