AI agents are helping people shop, set up their daily schedule and Google’s new experimental ‘CC’ wants to do all of that.
CC is the new AI agent for productivity that Google is testing
Google continues with its AI push and a new experimental feature is rolling out this week which lets you use an AI agent to act as your personal assistant. Google Labs is the platform which houses the new AI agent for productivity called ‘CC’ that can plan your day ahead and deliver a detailed schedule to your Gmail inbox every day.
The new AI agent has been built using Gemini models and it can connect to your Google Calendar, Drive and Gmail account to summarise the tasks, help you plan the day ahead and deliver updates as well.
AI Agent Goes Personal
This is Google’s latest attempt to build an agent that helps people manage their tasks and becomes an option for all users. Browsing through Gmail allows the AI agent to check for any upcoming appointments or even a delivery lined up, and bills to be paid. It can even draft emails with a Calendar link attached for better reference.
The AI agent ‘CC’ is still part of Google Labs, where the company does try out the experimental features before giving it a wider release. Keeping that in mind, CC is available but as an early access and only for users in the US and Canada.
Google has set up a waitlist to limit the number of people trying out CC and the company is giving first rights to those on the AI Ultra plan or its paid subscribers in general. The AI agent is not enabled by default and you will be allowed to make the changes from My Google account settings.
AI agents are proving to be hard to ignore, especially now that you can allow them to handle basic tasks like creating a schedule or even watching a video and summarising the important parts. However, AI agents also carry a serious risk, which hackers are gradually looking to exploit, and prompt injection has got most experts worried, especially if you go deep into the agentic AI world and start using it for shopping (with your payment details) or creating important research reports.
In fact, a recent report claims AI agents can become better hackers than humans if the technology falls into the hands of bad actors which feels unavoidable with the ongoing trends.
