For ministries, care communities, families, workplaces, and community groups

Keep every table talking, and finish on time.

Tell us who's coming and what you want to talk about. We write the questions for you, timed to your event, and every facilitator taps through them on their phone.

See how it works

A one-minute overview for anyone who leads a group.

Narrated with your device's voice. On iPhone, turn off silent mode.

From idea to a ready table in minutes

No blank page, no printed question slips, no one checking their watch.

Describe your group

Who's in the room, the topics, the tone, and how long you have. Two minutes.

We write the questions

More discussion prompts than your facilitators will need, grouped into sections and timed to your start and end time. You review and adjust anything.

Facilitators tap through

Tap right for the next question, left to go back. A soft glow tells them when it's time to move on.

After the event

The follow-up takes about five minutes

Attendees leave with everything on one page: their take-home card, a 20-second anonymous feedback form, and an invitation to host it themselves. Nothing to email them. Here's what's waiting for you.

Read what they said

A notice on your dashboard when feedback comes in. Open it and a summary is written for you: what went well, what to change, next steps, and quotes attendees agreed to share.

Make the next one better

When you write your next session's questions, our writer uses what attendees said, with one checkbox. Or reuse this event on a new date, free.

Report it

Ratings, take-home visits, and new groups your attendees started, ready for your board. Your sponsor's renewal letter and your grant language fill in with your numbers and an approved quote.

For anyone who runs a gathering

What your program gets

The outcomes leaders care about, built in from the first event.

Consistent delivery at every tableEvery facilitator works from the same timed guide, so priority topics are covered at all tables, not just the strongest ones.
No prep for volunteersWe write the questions. Facilitators need no training beyond "tap right for the next question."
Finish on timeSection timers, a gentle glow at each transition, and a star showing where every table should be.
Multiplication, not just attendanceAttendees scan a code at the close and can host the same conversation with their own family, friends, team, or congregation.
Reach you can reportSee how many new groups your event inspired, and the groups those groups inspired. Ready for boards, sponsors, and grant reports.
Trust and privacyNo attendee sign-ups, no names, no health records. People simply talk.

Built for the person running the table

Tested at a live men's health roundtable: 84 questions, 12 sections, 1 hour 40 minutes.

Countdown for every sectionTime left for the current topic, always on screen.
A gentle glow when it's timeThe screen softly glows for 10 seconds when the next section should start.
"Where should we be?" at a glanceRunning long on a great discussion? The section list stars where the clock says you should be. One tap to catch up.
One tap per question, no scrollingEasy enough to hand your phone to someone at the table.
Same room or 50 homesUp to 50 leaders run the same questions at once, whether their tables share a hall or meet in living rooms across town on different nights.
Sermon to small groupsPaste Sunday's sermon notes or passage, and every small group gets that week's discussion guide. How it works
Leader briefings and invitationsA one-page guide for your volunteer leaders, and a ready-to-send invitation kit for every event. See examples
One link for a whole seriesLeaders join a study or program once. Each week's session appears for them as soon as you approve it.
Co-organizers with their own loginsInvite up to 9 staff or volunteers to build, approve, and run events with you.
Built around any bookName a book, author, or chapters, and the questions are written around its ideas and themes.
Attendees can read alongEach facilitator's phone shows a code. People at that table scan it to read the questions on their own phone, at their own pace, with their take-home page at the end.
Every attendee can become a hostAt the close, attendees scan a code to keep their commitment and take the conversation home to their own family, friends, or group.
Anonymous by defaultNo sign-ups, no names required. People just talk.
Reach you can reportSee how many new groups your event inspired: every attendee who goes on to host their own table is counted toward your reach, and so are the groups they inspire.
A closing that fits your eventA commitment card for a health ministry, a memory card for a family reunion, your own two prompts, or no take-home at all. Your choice, for each event.
Run it againReuse a past event's questions on a new date in one step. Approved questions stay approved.
See it before you paySet up free, build your questions, and preview them running in the question app with your name on every screen.

Use cases

One tool for every group that gathers

The same timed questions, follow-along, take-home page, and reach report, written for whoever is at your tables. Try a demo made for your kind of group.

Built around a book? Name the book, author, or chapters when you describe your event, and the questions are written around it. Great for book clubs and literary societies, and for teaching sessions inside any use case: a leadership book at a corporate retreat, a study guide for small groups, or a caregiving book for a support circle.

What it replaces

ChatGPT plus printouts plus a timer, plus follow-up, plus tracking. In one place.

Most groups stitch these together by hand today, and the follow-up and tracking usually never happen. TableGuide does all of it, for every table.

Doing it by handWith TableGuide
Writing questionsPrompt ChatGPT, then copy, paste, and formatWritten for your group and timed to your event, even around a book. You approve every one.
PrintoutsA sheet for every table, reprinted when anything changesOn every leader's phone, up to 50 at once, in one room or 50 homes
A timerSomeone watching the clock and waving at tablesSection timers, a gentle glow, and a star showing where each table should be
Follow-upA sign-in sheet that never gets usedAttendees follow along on their phones, then keep a take-home page with their commitment and an invitation to host. Optionally, they can join your stay-in-touch list for your own mailing tool.
Tracking reach and replicationGuessing, or nothingA reach report of the new groups your events started, and the groups those groups started
Scaling upRedo everything for each group and each seasonReuse any event, one link for a whole series, co-organizers, and attendees who become hosts

All of it for about $3.33 a question set on the $999 plan. See what's included

The $999 plan, by the numbers

About $3.33 for a full set of questions. Everything else comes with it.

$999 a year covers up to 300 writer uses: full question sets, sermon-based small-group guides, series plans, leader briefings, and invitation kits. Every question set comes with all of this, for every table and every attendee, at no extra cost.

Example: a church with 30 small groups meeting in 30 homes uses one question set per week of its series. Or one event with 40 tables and 300 attendees uses one question set. Every one of those 300 people can follow along on their own phone and leave with a take-home page. That's about a penny per person.
