# Google tests Tabletop, letting groups build planning tools with an AI agent > Source: > Published: 2026-11-11 22:37:09+00:00 ### Google tests Tabletop, letting groups build planning tools with an AI agent Google LLC today began testing Tabletop, a Google Labs experiment in which groups share an online space and ask an artificial intelligence agent to build the planning tools they need. In a [blog post](https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/google-labs/tabletop/), Roman Nurik, design and engineering lead at Google Labs, wrote that coordinating a family trip or a potluck goes more smoothly when the whole group can pitch in from one place. Whoever sets up a space adds the links, files and ideas the group has collected, and from there a request to @tabletop produces the tool. Tools Google lists include itineraries, dinner polls, expense splitters and tournament brackets, and there is a set of starter templates that Tabletop users can access as well. Once the space is shared through an invite link posted in the group’s existing chat, everyone can work on those tools at the same time, “like in a Google Doc,” Nurik wrote. When a guest at an office party in one of Google’s demos ends up seated next to the boss, a request to @tabletop turns the seating chart into one where name badges can be dragged between tables. Any tool can be reworked the same way, according to the [Tabletop site](https://tabletop.google/about). Google did not say which of its models run Tabletop. When Labs released its Disco browser experiment [last December](https://blog.google/innovation-and-ai/models-and-research/google-labs/gentabs-gemini-3/), Gemini 3 was the model it used to turn a person’s open tabs into small web apps. Tabletop also follows Google’s move [in September](https://siliconangle.com/2026/09/17/google-expands-cc-into-a-shared-ai-agent-for-up-to-six-family-members/) to let up to six members of a household share the division’s CC agent. Rival OpenAI Group PBC added group chats to ChatGPT [a year ago](https://openai.com/index/group-chats-in-chatgpt/), and up to 20 people can now talk to the chatbot in one thread. In ChatGPT the chatbot sits inside the conversation as one more member, and OpenAI said at launch that it had taught the model to judge when to join in. Replies in those chats initially came from GPT-5.1 Auto, which chooses a model based on the prompt and on the subscription of whoever ChatGPT is answering. OpenAI also kept personal memory out of group chats entirely. Tabletop is limited for now to U.S. users 18 and older who sign up through the waitlist at [tabletop.google](https://tabletop.google/about), with Google saying it will let more people in each week.
