Summary
Google Labs has introduced a redesigned CC AI agent that lets families and groups share selected information, coordinate calendars and tasks, and handle household logistics. The early experiment is available on the web and mobile in the U.S. for people aged 18 and older with personal Google accounts.
Google Labs has introduced a redesigned version of CC, an AI agent intended to help families and other groups coordinate household logistics. The agent can organise selected information from members’ accounts, create shared calendar events and task lists, prepare daily briefings, and complete some administrative tasks with permission.
CC is designed as a shared household account rather than a personal assistant tied to one individual. Up to six members can collaborate with it, while each member controls the information that CC is allowed to access. Google says the experiment is available on the web and mobile to people aged 18 and older in the U.S. with a personal Google account.
A shared agent for household logistics
CC creates a shared “Your Day Ahead” briefing each morning. The briefing can summarise where members need to be, which tasks require attention and what the agent completed previously. The aim is to bring information that might otherwise remain in separate inboxes or personal checklists into a common view.
The agent can also track dates and to-dos across information shared by the group. It can add relevant events to a family Calendar and maintain shared Tasks as details change. Examples in Google’s announcement include school schedules, sports activities, veterinary appointments and other household commitments.
CC can take on some multi-step administrative work as well. With permission, it can fill out activity-registration or permission-slip PDFs, create school-supply shopping lists and prepare weekly meal plans. When information is missing, the agent can ask for additional details and add useful household information to its shared memory for future tasks.
Permissions, connected tools and availability
CC has its own verified Google Account, which gives the agent a separate identity and permissions model. Google says it responds only to group members and will not take action or share information outside the group without permission.
Members can choose which information to share and change those choices later. They can automatically share future messages from selected senders, such as a child’s school or a travel-booking service. Google says CC will provide a private weekly list of new senders that members may choose to add. Individual messages can also be forwarded to CC, including an image of an invitation or a practice schedule through email or Google Chat. Members can share Drive folders or files and add CC to a Calendar.
The agent connects with Google tools including Gmail, Chat, Docs and Calendar. Google says each CC runs on an isolated cloud computer using its agentic harness, Antigravity, and the latest Gemini models. This setup allows it to perform tasks such as pre-filling registration forms, checking live driving times through the Google Maps API and creating shared Docs or Sheets.
CC also has shared memory. Google describes this as a way for the agent to distinguish information relevant to the whole household—such as a regular grocery list or favourite restaurants—from information belonging to one person, such as dietary preferences or a local timezone.
The system is an early Google Labs experiment rather than a broadly released product. Existing users in the U.S. will receive an email in the coming days to upgrade their account, while new users can join a waitlist. The announcement does not specify a timetable for availability outside the U.S.
