Google expands CC into a shared AI agent for up to six family members

Google has expanded its experimental AI agent, CC, to allow up to six family members in a household to share one instance. Each member can determine what information CC can access, and the agent compiles this into a shared daily overview, calendar entries, and a task list titled "Your Day Ahead." The brief is sent out each morning and includes school notices, practice schedules, and veterinary reminders that were previously scattered across individual inboxes.

CC also has its own verified Google account, providing it with a distinct identity when communicating with group members. Users can add senders to an auto-share list, which routes communications from sources like schools or airlines directly to CC. Each member receives a private weekly summary of new contacts to review and confirm.

The agent can receive items by email or Google Chat, including photographs of birthday invitations or soccer schedules. It can share Drive folders and calendars directly with CC, which updates a family calendar or task list as plans change. CC can pre-fill registration and permission slip PDFs and even draft a week's worth of meals or a school supply list, asking for details it doesn't already have.

Each CC runs on its own isolated cloud computer powered by Google's latest Gemini models and the Antigravity agentic harness for developers. This setup allows CC to interact with registration forms, retrieve live Google Maps driving times, or create shared documents. Google emphasized that CC will only respond to group members and will not act outside the group or pass information beyond it without permission.

The household version of CC began as a single-user product in December, offering a daily briefing based on Gmail, Calendar, and Drive. It was integrated into the Gemini app in May under the name Daily Brief. The expanded household version is now available in the U.S. for individuals aged 18 and older with a personal Google account.

Existing users will receive an email in the coming days to upgrade, while others will join a waitlist.
