"After a few hours on the waitlist, I was approved to receive my own CC briefing. At 5:18 a.m. the following morning, "Your Day Ahead" hit my inbox, with Google AI celebrating the coming weekend. Here's what it had: A "top of mind" section about coming deadlines that required my attention, sourced to my emails. The tasks also included estimates of the time required, which were generally accurate."
"Some kind words from Google AI, reminding me that it's "almost the weekend" and wishing me a "productive day." I get dozens of newsletters. I emailed back: "Hey CC, can you pick out the four most important stories in all the unread newsletters in my inbox that I should read?" My CC said that it "couldn't find many newsletters from today," only finding one from CNN that it said it was "unable to pull a full summary" of."
Google Labs launched CC, an AI productivity tool built with Gemini that generates daily morning briefings by scanning Gmail, Calendar, and Drive. Users can email CC to set reminders, schedule events, or request email summaries. A waitlisted user received a "Your Day Ahead" email at 5:18 a.m. that listed deadlines sourced from emails with time estimates, expiring offers, closing Broadway shows, a LinkedIn "Year in Review" link, and a calendar invitation reminder, along with friendly messages. When asked to extract four important stories from unread newsletters, CC reported finding few newsletters and could only locate a single CNN item without a full summary. CC helps filter spam and surface priorities but shows occasional detection and summarization missteps.
