Overview
Google CC is an experimental agent from Google Labs that you copy in rather than chat with. It has its own verified Google Account, so the address behaves like a member of the household: forward it a school notice, an invitation or a booking confirmation and the agent reads it, works out what it implies, and writes the result into Calendar and Tasks. The name is the point — you cc the agent on the things it should know about.
Since 17 September 2026 a single CC can be shared by up to six people. Each morning it produces one 'Your Day Ahead' brief giving, in Google's words, a clear view of who needs to be where, what needs to be done, and what CC already completed yesterday. A shared memory keeps household-level facts — a go-to grocery list, favourite family restaurants — separate from what belongs to one person, and an auto-cc setting lets each member nominate senders, such as a school or a travel provider, whose mail should always reach the agent without being forwarded by hand.
Beyond the brief, Google describes CC handling the paperwork that clogs a family calendar: filling out permission slips and activity registration PDFs, building school supply shopping lists, and drafting weekly meal plans. It connects to Gmail, Chat, Docs and Calendar. CC remains a Google Labs experiment rather than a general Google product — it is available on web and mobile to people aged 18 and over in the United States with a personal Google account, and new users join through a waitlist.
What it does
- Its own verified Google Account, so the agent has a distinct identity and a clear permissions model
- Shared access for up to six household members, each choosing what the agent may see
- A daily 'Your Day Ahead' brief covering who needs to be where, what is outstanding, and what CC finished yesterday
- Auto-cc: nominate senders whose mail always reaches the agent without manual forwarding
- Shared memory that separates household-wide facts from one person's preferences
- Connections to Gmail, Chat, Docs and Calendar, with results written into Calendar and Tasks
- Help with form-shaped chores: permission slips, activity registration PDFs, supply lists and weekly meal plans
Getting started
CC is a Google Labs experiment, not software you install. It is limited to people aged 18 and over in the United States with a personal Google account, on web and mobile.
Join the waitlist
New users sign up through Google Labs. People already using CC receive an email about upgrading to the shared group experience.

Up to six members can share one CC. Each person controls what information the agent is allowed to access.
CC → invite membersCopy CC on what matters
The agent has its own Google Account, so you forward things to it. Add recurring senders — a school, a travel provider — to the auto-cc list so their mail arrives without forwarding.
CC → auto-cc sendersCommands and code are distilled from the project's own documentation — always check the official docs for the latest.
When to use it
- Pulling school notices, practice schedules and booking confirmations out of several inboxes into one shared morning brief
- Filling in permission slips and activity registration PDFs without one parent retyping everything
- Keeping a household grocery list and weekly meal plan that every member can see
- Writing dates and to-dos straight into Google Calendar and Tasks instead of leaving them in a chat window
