Google Labs launches Tabletop, a shared space for group planning

Google has introduced Tabletop, a new Google Labs experiment built for group collaboration. In a post on the Google Gemini blog published November 11, 2026, Google describes Tabletop as a set of customizable, collaborative spaces where groups can plan, play, and do more together.

Teams can use Tabletop to build interactive itineraries, polls, and brackets. The tool is designed to be shaped around each group’s needs rather than locked into a single template.

Access is handled through a waitlist. Interested users can join the waitlist to request access. The announcement does not specify when access will broaden beyond the initial group.

Why it matters

Group coordination often spreads across chat threads, spreadsheets, and separate polling apps. A single shared space that combines planning, voting, and brackets could reduce that friction for teams, friend groups, and event organizers. Because Tabletop is still a Labs experiment, its features and long-term direction remain open questions.

What to do

If your team regularly plans trips, runs competitions, or makes decisions by poll, join the waitlist to test the workflow. Confirm availability, pricing, and feature details on Google’s official site before building any process around Tabletop.
