Google announces new experimental “CC” AI agent for families

CC gives an AI agent its own Google account in your family or group and sends all members a daily briefing. AI Google's revamped CC is an AI agent for families and groups In case you’re into that kind of thing. By Anna Washenko Sept.

This agentic AI platform has its own Google account that up to six family members can choose to share information with. Each user can pick what emails to share with the agent, passing along either single messages on an as-needed basis or picking addresses to always send to the CC account. It also creates a shared calendar and task list that all group members can view and sends all participants a daily briefing with information about immediately upcoming events and to-dos.

CC can be used to file paperwork and handle logistics like filling out registration forms or writing a shopping list, although those tasks are designed to ask for a user's permission before taking action. Eagle-eyed readers may feel like the name is familiar, and it is. Google first debuted an experimental tool called CC last December, but rebranded it as the company's Daily Briefing feature earlier this year.

Now it's pivoting the CC project to be this family-centric organizer based on requests from the tool's early testers. Users can add CC to a Drive folder or share specific files with the agent, as well as interact with it in a dedicated Google Chat window. Google laid out several of the privacy limitations for the agent in its FAQ, and those include restrictions on CC being able to add or remove family members and to access or search members' individual inboxes.

Multiple family members can share data to help the agent make plans and complete tasks.

If you’re deep in the Google ecosystem, Gemini models have a lot of context on you already. Google’s latest Google Labs experiment, known as CC, aims to expand that kind of customization to the whole family.

CC is an evolution of something that Google announced in 2025. The original CC eventually became Gemini’s Daily Brief, which churns through the data in your Google account to offer daily action items and suggestions.

The new CC has a similar goal, but it’s designed to be a shared resource for up to six users in a family. Google says that CC has its own Google account, allowing each family member to interact with it (or not) as they choose.

For example, CC only sees emails from its connected users if they are explicitly shared. You can do that by designating certain addresses as always available to the agent—something like school scheduling emails.

You can also send content to CC via email or Google Chat. The agent can even monitor a shared Google Drive folder, into which you can dump invitations, documents, and other content.

Add family members to your CC and pull in relevant information for Your Day Ahead brief, delivered right to your inbox. One of CC’s main functions is, unsurprisingly, a lot like Daily Brief.

Each morning, all the registered users will get a shared “Your Day Ahead” email that pulls together the day’s events and updates on previous tasks. It can also add items to shared calendars, remind you about important tasks, and create documents based on your instructions that are accessible to all CC users.

As everyone uses CC more, it builds a memory of who you are and how you like to do things. The end goal is to hand off tedious tasks to the AI, be that managing your calendar or filling out school permission slips that show up in your email.

So maybe the robot fills out almost all of the form without being asked, but it checks with the user about other details as needed. CC won’t send the document or anything else to addresses outside the group without confirmation.

CC can complete tasks like filling out PDFs. Google says that each instance of CC runs on an isolated cloud instance, powered by Antigravity and the company’s latest Gemini models.

Currently, that means Gemini 3.8 Flash. There hasn’t been a new Pro model since early this year despite Google promising one at I/O.

It’s unclear how good CC will be at pulling together a family’s data and taking useful action without burning through a mountain of AI tokens. And CC isn’t even tied to Google’s paid subscriptions.

If you want to try CC, you can. Anyone who was using the earlier version of CC that became Daily Brief will be upgraded to the new experience in the coming days.
