There are two projects related to Google going on - one is this one, from Verily, another is broader information website, led by Google. From TC[1]:

Google later clarified is that there are at least two different efforts here. Google’s work around bringing more information about COVID-19 to its users across its various services — and Verily’s efforts to launch a pilot website “that will enable individuals to do a risk assessment and be scheduled for testing at sites in the Bay Area.”

I can not say which one Trump meant - and am not sure if he really goes into the details beyond "we're working with Google folks on making information available" - the President usually doesn't do such things by himself, he delegates - but I would assume he probably meant the other one. But maybe both. Or maybe just Verily effort and extending it to broader reach. We'll see.
