Google Labs testing ‘CC’ productivity agent that connects to Gmail


Google Labs today announced a “new experimental AI productivity agent” called “CC.” It will generate and send a “Your Day Ahead” briefing to your inbox every morning.

CC “synthesizes your schedule, key tasks and updates into one clear summary, so you know what needs to be done next.” Built with Gemini models, CC connects to your Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive, as well as the “wider web to gain an understanding of your day.”

CC can note whether you need to get ready for an appointment or pay a bill, while agentic capabilities include preparing “email drafts and calendar links when needed to help you take action quickly.”

You can steer CC by replying to the “Your Day Ahead” email to teach it details about yourself, correct information, remember ideas, and add to-dos. That daily email has thumbs up/down to provide feedback.

There’s also the ability to email [your-username]+cc@gmail.com directly. CC will only ever email you, but you can add it “to an email thread to request a summary; it will still only reply to you privately.” 

CC is currently a Labs experiment that’s available in early access starting today for Google consumer accounts in the US and Canada. There is a waitlist, with Google prioritizing “Google AI Ultra and paid subscribers.”

This “standalone experimental service” is not part of Google Workspace or Gemini Apps. Besides signing up for the waitlist, you must have Workspace Smart Settings enabled. You can disconnect from CC at any time: myaccount.google.com/connections#:~:text=CC.
