Google debuts CC, an AI tool with Gmail, Calendar access

A few days ago, Google announced Disco, a platform that could use AI to turn websites into web apps. That does not appear to be the only new AI tool that Google has been working on. Their next one is called CC, and it wants to replace your morning scroll. What makes this tool different from similar AI tools is that CC will have access to your Gmail and Google Calendar, letting it offer actually useful insights into the day ahead — at least, in theory.

The new tool, which is available as part of Google Labs, is similar in scope to Samsung’s Morning Brief, which it includes on its modern smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. It’s an AI tool that collects a bunch of information that it believes you’ll need for the day ahead, including news, reminders, upcoming bills, and your schedule.

These curated little morning briefs — called Your Day Ahead — are sent to you in the form of an email each morning at a time you designate. It brings in data from your Gmail, Calendar, and Google Drive to give it enough data to work with. The email contains links to all of those tools so you can quickly jump in and get started if you need to. 

How do I try Google CC?

Currently, Google CC has a waitlist that is open to users in the U.S. and Canada who are 18 years or older. Google says that Google AI Ultra and paid subscribers will get priority over free users, so your best bet to use it as soon as possible is to sign up for one of the aforementioned services. Google says that it’ll open registration up to more users in more regions soon. 

Should you wish to sign up, Google says you must have Smart Settings enabled in Google Workspace, which will also improve your odds of getting shuffled closer to the top of the list. Once you're approved, you’ll be able to configure CC to your liking and start receiving emails.

Should you get into Google CC and want to opt out, Google suggests accessing the third-party apps and services settings in your Google account and then removing CC from the list. Disconnecting from the service is the only way to erase your data from CC entirely.
