Google is testing an experimental AI tool called Tabletop that generates customized collaborative spaces for groups to coordinate activities like family trips, potlucks, and event planning. Users can describe the planning tools they need, such as itineraries, expense splitters, chore charts, or tournament brackets, and the AI agent builds them. Multiple people can edit the tools simultaneously and request changes by mentioning the AI agent in the shared space.
