Google has launched CC, a new experimental AI productivity agent from Google Labs designed to help users stay organized and act on daily tasks.
Built with Google’s Gemini AI model, CC pulls together information from “Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and the wider web” to create a daily snapshot of what matters most. The company says CC is meant to reduce the time people spend juggling emails, meetings, and reminders by presenting everything in one place.
At the center of CC is a daily email called “Your Day Ahead.” Delivered every morning, the briefing summarizes a user’s schedule, highlights key tasks, and flags important updates such as upcoming appointments or bills that need attention.
Beyond summaries, CC can also draft emails and generate calendar links, allowing users to take action directly from the briefing without switching between apps.
Email-based and interactive
CC works mainly through email. Users can reply directly to CC’s messages or send new emails with requests. These can include asking CC to remember ideas, add to-dos, search for information, or adapt to personal preferences over time.
Google Labs describes CC as customizable, with users able to “teach it” how they like to work by interacting with it regularly.
Google says CC accesses Gmail, Calendar, and Drive only to provide its features, and that user data is protected. According to Google Labs, the data processed by CC is “not used to train Google’s foundational generative AI models.”
CC is also positioned as a standalone experiment. It is not part of Google Workspace or the Gemini Apps, and different privacy notices apply. Google adds that CC can make mistakes and that users should not rely on it for medical, legal, or financial advice.
Who can use CC right now?
CC is launching in early access through Google Labs and is currently limited to Google consumer account users aged 18 and above in the US and Canada. Access is starting with Google AI Ultra and paid subscribers, with a waitlist now open. Google has not said when or if CC will roll out more widely.
CC is Google’s latest move in the growing AI “agent” space, positioning the Gemini model as a proactive manager of your daily life and challenging other productivity-focused competitors, such as Microsoft’s Copilot and OpenAI’s ChatGPT Pulse.
