Google CC opens to families — one AI agent for up to six people

Google Labs opened CC to households: up to six people can share one AI agent. CC reads what members send it and turns school notices, invites and schedules into a shared 'Your Day Ahead' brief plus Calendar and Tasks entries.

Google Labs' CC agent now belongs to a household rather than one person, with a shared morning brief, calendar and task list.

What is it?

Groups are the new part: a single CC can now be shared by up to six household members, and each person chooses what the agent is allowed to see. The agent keeps its own Google account, so a family has one address to forward things to, and it sorts what arrives into a daily brief, calendar entries and a task list.

How does it work?

Members can set an auto-'cc' list so mail from chosen senders reaches the agent without being forwarded by hand. CC connects to Gmail, Chat, Docs and Calendar, keeps a shared memory of household facts separate from each person's own preferences, and writes what it works out into Calendar and Tasks. The daily output is a brief called 'Your Day Ahead'.

Why does it matter?

Household admin — permission forms, practice times, meal plans — arrives across several inboxes, which is exactly why a single-user assistant only ever sees part of it. Pointing one agent at the shared pile is what makes the brief useful, and it removes the step where one person retypes everything into the family calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Where can you use Google CC?
CC is available in the United States only, on web and mobile, for people aged 18 and over. Existing CC users receive an email about upgrading to the group experience, and anyone new can join the waitlist at labs.google/cc. It remains a Google Labs experiment rather than a general Google product.
How many people can share one CC?
Up to six members can be invited into a single CC. Each one controls what information the agent may access, so one household shares an agent without everyone handing over the same inboxes. The shared memory keeps household-level facts apart from what each member prefers individually.
What kinds of tasks does CC handle for a family?
Google says CC tracks important dates, fills in forms, and helps with planning such as meals, then folds everything into the shared 'Your Day Ahead' brief. It connects to Calendar and Tasks so schedules and to-dos land where the family already looks, rather than staying inside a chat window.
Does CC read everyone's whole inbox?
No. CC has its own Google account, and material reaches it because a member forwards it or adds a sender to an auto-'cc' list. Each member picks what the agent can access, so the shared brief is built from what the household chose to share rather than from full mailbox access.
