Benchmark leaderboards have not been kind to Google's models lately. What the company does have is the enormous store of information it has already collected about you, and its latest Labs experiment aims that store squarely at your household.

The project is named CC. It’s an agent designed to be shared among as many as six family members, and it breaks new ground for a Google assistant in one specific way: it is issued its own Google account.

This is the second time Google has shipped something called CC

A first version of CC arrived in 2025 and was eventually folded into Gemini’s Daily Brief — the feature that chews through your Google account data and returns a daily set of suggestions and action items. The new CC holds onto that concept. What changes is that it’s no longer built around a single person.

How much any individual shares is up to them, including the option to ignore it entirely. Emails from connected users reach CC only when they are deliberately shared, and that sharing can be automated by marking particular addresses as permanently visible to the agent. Messages from a school are the obvious use case.

Items can also be handed over directly by email or through Google Chat. CC can additionally monitor a shared Google Drive folder, which turns that folder into a drop box for invitations, documents and anything else.

The morning email is the part you’ll actually notice

A shared “Your Day Ahead” email lands with every registered user each morning, gathering the day’s events alongside progress updates on earlier tasks. Think Daily Brief, but with the rest of the family included.

The digest isn’t the whole of it. CC can drop entries onto shared calendars, chase you about tasks that matter and generate documents from your instructions that any CC user is able to open.

The longer it runs, the more ambitious the pitch becomes. According to Google, CC assembles a memory of who you are and the way you prefer things handled, with the aim of absorbing the drudgery — juggling the calendar, or dealing with the school permission slip sitting in your inbox. The agent may complete nearly all of a form without being asked, then circle back for the details it has no way of guessing.

Outbound activity, at least, has a firm limit. Documents and anything else bound for addresses outside the group won’t go anywhere until CC gets confirmation.

It’s running on Flash, and nobody’s talking about the Pro model

Every CC instance lives on an isolated cloud instance, driven by Antigravity and Google’s newest Gemini models. In practice, today that means Gemini 3.8 Flash.

That detail deserves a moment’s thought. No new Pro model has appeared since early this year, even though Google committed to one at I/O. Whether a Flash model is capable of pulling a family’s scattered information together and acting on it usefully — without consuming an enormous quantity of AI tokens — is the question left hanging. CC is not bundled with any of Google’s paid subscriptions either, which means the cost is landing on somebody.

Sign up now, but know who this is for

You can join the waitlist now. Existing users of the earlier CC that became Daily Brief will be moved up to the new experience within the next few days.

A single limitation defines the entire product: CC functions only with personal Gmail accounts belonging to people 18 or older. That makes it an agent for parents running a hectic household rather than something children will ever use. Building the latter would drag in a mountain of legal complications, and Google evidently has no interest in bolting that onto a Labs experiment.

If you’re the member of the household who already runs the shared calendar, Google made this for you. The rest of the family simply has to consent to sharing their email.
