Google announces new experimental "CC" AI agent for families
Google has introduced an experimental AI agent called "CC" as part of its Google Labs initiative, designed for families. CC operates with its own Google account, allowing family members to control their interactions and data sharing. It can access explicitly shared emails, content sent via email or Google Chat, and monitor a shared Google Drive folder. A core function of CC is to provide a shared "Your Day Ahead" email, similar to Daily Brief, summarizing daily events and updates, and it can manage shared calendars and create documents for all CC users.

Google’s AI models may not be in the lead by most measures right now, but the company does have one key advantage: your data. 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.
