Google Labs has introduced an experimental AI agent called 'CC' that connects to Gmail, Calendar, and Drive to generate daily summaries and assist with tasks, available in early access for US and Canada users with a waitlist for prioritized subscribers.
The Google app for Windows, currently in Labs status, is prompting users to uninstall and reinstall it to ensure future updates due to an unspecified error in the initial release, with the latest version being 0.1.15.1.
Google AI Mode, previewed at I/O 2025, now tests the ability to create interactive financial charts and answer questions using advanced reasoning, while Google Labs introduces 'Portraits'—AI representations of trusted experts with illustrated avatars for conversational interactions. These features aim to enhance data understanding and expert engagement in search.
Google Labs is returning as a way for users to try new AI-based features coming soon to Google apps, including Workspace, Project Tailwind, MusicLM, and Google Search. Users can opt into each experiment manually, and the latest version of the Google Search app on Android and desktop versions of Chrome now has a built-in Labs button for easy sign-up.
