Google Labs has launched CC, a new experimental AI productivity agent built with Gemini, aimed at helping users stay organized and manage daily tasks more efficiently. The tool connects across core Google services to deliver a personalized daily briefing and assist with follow-up actions throughout the day.

CC is designed to synthesize information from a user’s connected Google services—Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive—to provide a single, clear overview of the day ahead. Each morning, users receive a “Your Day Ahead” email briefing that brings together:

Rather than simply listing information, the briefing helps users understand what needs to be done next, highlighting practical actions such as paying a bill, preparing for an appointment, or following up on a message. The goal is to reduce the need to move between multiple apps by presenting essential context in one concise summary, allowing users to prioritize and take action more quickly.

Beyond summaries, CC is designed to support action. The agent can prepare draft emails, generate calendar links, and help users move from planning to execution more quickly.

Users can interact with CC directly by replying to its messages or by emailing the agent with custom instructions. CC can be reached at [your-username][email protected], allowing users to ask for help, share requests, or teach the agent preferences through natural email interaction.

While CC can be added to an existing email thread to request a summary, the agent is designed to communicate privately. CC only sends responses back to the user and does not email other participants, reinforcing its role as a personal productivity assistant rather than a shared inbox or messaging tool.

Over time, these interactions allow CC to remember ideas, track to-dos, and adapt its assistance to the user’s workflow.

CC is currently an early-stage Google Labs experiment. Early access is rolling out to:

Q: Who can access CC right now?
A: Early access is available to eligible users in the U.S. and Canada with qualifying Google consumer accounts and paid subscriptions.

This launch highlights how AI is moving from reactive tools toward embedded, ongoing assistants that operate within daily workflows. Instead of requiring users to ask for help repeatedly, CC is designed to anticipate needs by continuously monitoring schedules, communications, and tasks.

For users, this points to a future where productivity tools become less about managing apps and more about managing attention. If AI agents like CC mature, they could reduce cognitive overload by quietly handling organization, reminders, and routine follow-ups—freeing users to focus on higher-value work.

For Google, CC also signals deeper investment in agent-based AI tied directly to its core products, positioning Gmail, Calendar, and Drive not just as tools, but as inputs for intelligent systems that coordinate daily life.

If tools like CC succeed, the real shift won’t be about doing more—it will be about AI quietly deciding what deserves your attention before the day even begins.
