Google is testing a new version of CC, an AI agent designed to help families coordinate their households. CC originally started as a productivity agent connected to Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, and the wider web, delivering a “Your Day Ahead” briefing to users’ inboxes. In May, that feature was brought into the Gemini app as “Daily Brief.” Google says user requests showed people wanted to use the tool more for household management—keeping up with kids’ school schedules, sports practices, bills, meal plans, and more—so the company shifted CC to focus on family coordination.

With the update, CC gets its own Google account, allowing it to collaborate with family members on tasks while maintaining its own permissions for accessing data. Each family member chooses what to share, such as emails about school events, sports, clubs, birthday party invites, or doctor appointments. These can be forwarded to CC‘s email address or shared automatically by selecting senders whose messages should always be shared, with CC suggesting additional senders on a weekly basis. CC currently supports up to six family members sharing information and collaborating.

Beyond email, CC can coordinate household activities by tracking important dates and to-dos and automatically adding them to a shared calendar or task list. For example, an orthodontist’s appointment confirmation or a school’s teacher workday announcement can be placed directly on the shared calendar. The agent can also handle select tasks on the family’s behalf, such as filling out permission slips or activity registration PDFs, making school supply shopping lists, planning weekly meals, calculating drive times between activities, and creating shared Docs or Sheets. It asks for missing details when needed and updates its group memory to become more helpful over time.

Google notes that CC runs on its own isolated cloud computer, powered by Gemini and Google’s agentic harness, Antigravity. The experiment is currently limited to U.S. users with a personal Gmail account who are ages 18 and up. That limitation is a notable drawback: older kids like tweens and teens cannot use the service unless they misrepresent their age, and school-provided email accounts are not supported even though many schools rely on Google apps and Chromebooks. Google suggests CC could be especially useful for larger households where parents coordinate with grandparents, caregivers, nannies, or adult children living at home. Existing CC users will receive email invitations to upgrade in the coming days, while new users can join a waitlist for access.
