Google wants your morning to start with an AI assistant that has already read your inbox, scanned your calendar, and figured out what needs your attention each day. That’s the idea for Daily Brief, a new agent inside the Gemini app that Google introduced at I/O 2026 alongside a broader push to turn Gemini from a chatbot you prompt into an assistant that proactively works in the background.
This article explains what Daily Brief does, how to turn it on, and why you may not be able to use it yet.
Daily Brief is a feature inside the Gemini app that generates a single, automatic summary of your day, once every morning. Instead of waiting for you to ask a question, it works overnight, pulling information from your Gmail, Google Calendar, and your past Gemini conversations, then organises it with suggested next steps.
Google describes it as an “agent” rather than a static summary. It doesn’t just tell you what’s on your plate, it recommends what to do about it: replying to a specific email, prepping for a meeting, or following up on something you mentioned in an earlier chat with Gemini.
