"Generative AI at this point has been a lot of promise and a lot of "kinda-sorta helpful, maybe?" results. So far, most of the hype hasn't quite matched the reality, and the high likelihood of a large-language-model-powered system confidently telling you something inaccurate - or even just missing important context around its certain-seeming assertions - is a pretty big liability to accept, particularly in a corporate environment (but honestly, even just in your own day-to-day doings)."
"So when Google quietly launched another new AI assistant ahead of the holidays, my skepticism meter immediately skyrocketed. But this one looked different. It looked intriguingly familiar, in fact. And it sounded like it might be an effective recipe for putting this rapidly developing technology to use in an environment that actually makes sense - and might lay the groundwork for the genuinely helpful on-demand assistant we've all been waiting to meet."
"This latest AI-centric creation is called CC, and it's described as an "AI productivity agent." Unlike Google's everywhere-you-look Gemini AI assistant, CC lives entirely in your inbox - within Gmail, specifically - and attempts to work proactively on your behalf in addition to serving as an on-demand info wrangler. It's an interestingly different approach and one that immediately reminded me of a short-lived Android-based system from over a decade ago - som"
Frequent AI announcements have produced more hype than practical benefit and often deliver only somewhat helpful results. Large language model systems can confidently present inaccuracies or omit important context, creating liability especially in corporate settings. Google launched CC, an AI productivity agent that operates entirely within Gmail and combines proactive action with on-demand information retrieval. CC's inbox-centered design aims to apply AI where context is natural and contained. The approach differs from broad, everywhere-access assistants like Gemini and intentionally focuses on email workflows. The design evokes an earlier short-lived Android-based system as a point of comparison.
