Google Labs' Tabletop lets friends and families vibe-code shared apps like chore charts and expense splitters
Describe the tool, or start from a template, and the whole group uses it at once like a Google Doc. The beta is US-only, 18 and up, by waitlist.

Google Labs has a new experiment called Tabletop that builds shared hubs for planning with family and friends, Jess Weatherbed reports for The Verge.
What it is
It looks a bit like workplace tools such as Asana or Monday, but its main trick is AI that builds small interactive apps from a description. Think chore charts, budgets, trip plans, polls about where to eat, bill splitters and brackets.
According to Roman Nurik, who leads design and engineering for the project at Google Labs, you add links, files and ideas, then ask @tabletop for what you want or pick a starter template. Share the invite link in your group chat and everyone can use the space at the same time, the way they would a Google Doc.
Who can try it
The beta is rolling out through a waitlist to people 18 and older in the US. Some of Google's own examples clearly involve kids or teens, so the age limit may be a testing-phase rule.
Scoreboard update: AI +1. Building a small app for the group chat now takes one sentence.
Stay undead.
