Google Labs has launched CC, an experimental artificial intelligence agent designed to help users stay organized and manage daily tasks by synthesizing key information across email, calendar, and documents. Built on Google’s Gemini AI model, CC represents the company’s latest push to expand the role of AI beyond traditional chatbots into proactive productivity support. In a blog, the tech conglomerate said:
CC is our new experimental AI productivity agent from Google Labs, built with Gemini to help you stay organized and get things done. When you sign up, it connects your Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive and the wider web to gain an understanding of your day, delivering a “Your Day Ahead” briefing to your inbox every morning.
Unlike conventional tools that wait for user prompts, CC proactively delivers a daily briefing called “Your Day Ahead” directly to users’ inboxes. The summary combines schedule events from Gmail and Google Calendar, important updates, tasks, and relevant context from Google Drive and the wider web, giving users a consolidated view of their day.
Google says CC can also generate email drafts and calendar links, allowing users to act on tasks quickly without switching between apps. Users can interact with CC via email, replying to its briefings or sending custom requests, to teach the agent individual preferences, request reminders, or update plans over time.
The CC agent is currently available in early access for Google consumer account users aged 18 and over in the United States and Canada, initially prioritizing subscribers to Google AI Ultra and other paid tiers, with a waitlist open for wider access.
Google frames CC as part of a broader strategy to integrate AI deeply into daily workflows, helping users reduce cognitive load by presenting a comprehensive, actionable overview of what matters most each day. The company highlights that data accessed by CC is used only to provide its features and is not used to train Google’s foundational generative AI models, addressing privacy concerns associated with AI assistants.
Industry observers note that CC positions Google to compete directly with other productivity-focused AI agents, such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT Pulse service, which also delivers personalized daily summaries. However, CC’s tight integration with Google’s native ecosystem of services gives it a distinct advantage for users heavily invested in Gmail, Google Calendar, and Drive.
As an experimental Labs project, CC remains under active development. Google emphasizes that the agent may make mistakes and is not intended to replace human judgment or be relied on for medical, legal, or financial advice. Future enhancements will likely be shaped by user feedback collected during the early access phase.
By consolidating communication, scheduling, and reminders into a single email briefing, CC aims to make daily planning simpler and more intuitive, signaling a shift toward more ambient and supportive AI experiences.
