Google launched Tables, an experimental app from its in-house incubator, which offers a database with built-in automation tools, different views for data organization and analysis, and built-in automations that can be used to create custom apps without requiring code. Unlike Google Sheets, which is a spreadsheet, Tables is designed primarily as a database, allowing users to view information in various contexts and filter or query it more effectively. With its flexibility and automation capabilities, Tables sets itself apart from other spreadsheet apps, but its fate remains uncertain due to the company's history of launching new tools only to retire them if they don't gain widespread adoption.
