Google builds another AI agent that mostly just makes polls and seating charts

Google Labs is testing Tabletop, an experiment where groups can share an online workspace and ask an AI agent to create planning tools like itineraries, polls, expense splitters, and tournament brackets. Users set up a shared space with links and files, then tag @tabletop to generate the tool, which everyone can edit simultaneously. The demo shows it can rearrange a seating chart so you're not stuck next to your boss at the office party.

The tool is essentially Google Docs with an AI button for generating basic templates, joining the crowded field of collaborative AI assistants. It's currently a waitlisted U.S.-only experiment with no pricing details, following Google's pattern of releasing fragmented, region-locked AI features. The takeaway is that Silicon Valley's grand AI revolution has officially reached the thrilling frontier of potluck coordination and bracket generation.
