Google's New AI Agent Helps You Get Ahead With A Morning Briefing

Google is testing an AI agent designed to handle your to-do lists for you. The Labs experiment, called CC, is built using Gemini and sends an email summarizing your schedules and tasks every morning.

To compose its briefings, CC combs through your Google Calendar, Drive, and Gmail data to put together a list of tasks, reminders, and emails you need to get to.

For quick actions, the briefings include calendar links and AI-generated email drafts that help you reply, reach out, or follow up. “Your data is protected, and is not used to train Google’s foundational generative AI models,” Google says.

You can improve CC’s daily briefings by emailing it details about your preferences or asking it to remember ideas and to-dos. You can also place your custom requests. To interact with AI agent, send an email to [your-username]+[email protected]. Despite your inputs, CC can make mistakes, Google says.

To start using CC, all you need to do is join the waitlist. Once you are off the list, you’ll automatically begin receiving the morning summary. The feature is currently limited to users aged 18 or older in the US and Canada, with Google AI Ultra and other paid subscribers given first preference.

Google’s CC closely resembles ChatGPT’s Pulse which launched a few months ago. Pulse curates a morning update based on chat history, memory, and direct feedback. It also shares what it plans to show you tomorrow, and you can modify it if required.

The major difference between the two, though, is the presentation. While CC shoots a bulleted email, Pulse comes with a mix of descriptions and visually pleasing cards.
