Google Labs has unveiled a new experimental artificial intelligence assistant named CC, designed to help users better manage their daily tasks by sending personalized productivity summaries directly to their inbox each morning. Powered by Google’s advanced Gemini AI models, CC connects with a user’s Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive to synthesize key information into a concise briefing titled “Your Day Ahead.”

Unlike traditional digital assistants that live in a sidebar or separate app, CC operates primarily through email. Every morning, the agent analyzes a user’s incoming messages, upcoming calendar events, important files, and even relevant information from the broader web to create a tailored snapshot of the day’s priorities. This daily productivity briefing highlights schedules, key tasks, upcoming appointments, and reminders — such as bills or action items — all in a single message.

Users can interact with CC by replying directly to its emails or by sending messages to a dedicated address using the format [your-username]+cc@gmail.com. Through these interactions, CC learns personal preferences, remembers ideas, adds tasks to the user’s to-do list, and even generates email drafts or calendar links to help take action quickly.

Currently, CC is available as an early-access experiment for Google consumer account users aged 18 and older in the United States and Canada, with priority given to Google AI Ultra and paid subscribers on the waitlist. Participation requires enabling Workspace Smart Settings, and users retain full control, with the option to disconnect from the service at any time.

Google emphasizes that CC is a standalone experimental service and is not part of Google Workspace or the Gemini Apps suite. While it offers significant potential to streamline daily planning and enhance productivity, CC remains in an early testing phase, and its broader release will likely depend on user feedback and ongoing development.
