Google is trying to use its own artificial intelligence to replace the first round of information users wake up. The company has launched an experimental AI agent called CC that will proactively sort emails, schedules and document information for users every morning and send it to their inboxes in the form of a personalized "Your Day Ahead" newsletter.
According to the introduction, CC will generate a clear schedule overview based on the user's calendar schedule for the day, and refine the items that need to be focused on, such as bills to be paid, upcoming meetings, or activities that need to be prepared in advance. Not only can it remind users what to do, but it can also pre-draft email content and create calendar invitation links, helping users quickly "jump" on key items before the day starts.
CC will be the first to be open to paid subscribers in the United States and Canada who are over 18 years old and will be available in an early experience form. Google has simultaneously launched a waiting list page for users to apply to join. Google has not yet stated how long the waiting period will last, nor has it given a timetable for expanding its scope in the future.
This new assistant is based on Google's Gemini large model. It links with services such as Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Drive, and accesses the Internet to obtain more background information, thereby establishing a continuous understanding of the user. Users can also “teach” CC more personal preferences and long-term information by replying to briefing emails or emailing it directly so that it can remember specific things so they can better reflect them in subsequent briefings.
In Google's product layout, CC is another AI assistant focusing on daily life, following a variety of intelligent agents for programming, shopping, web browsing and other scenarios. Its functional positioning is quite similar to ChatGPT Pulse, which OpenAI launched in September this year. The latter also provides a personalized daily information briefing service and was once called "the favorite feature in a long time" by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
