Google expands CC into a shared household AI agent

Google Labs has expanded CC beyond personal productivity into an experimental shared agent for families and households. A group of up to six adults can use a single agent to coordinate information and tasks.

The new version of CC has its own verified Google Account, giving the agent what Google describes as a distinct identity and permissions model. Each member decides what CC can access and what stays private, and can revise those choices. Google says the agent responds only to group members and will not act or share information outside the group without a member’s permission. The company has also added confirmation controls in Gemini Spark workflows, though CC is a separate product with group-specific permissions.

Members can tell CC to always accept messages from designated email senders, forward one-off material by email or Google Chat, share Drive files or folders, or add the agent to a Calendar. CC can draw on that material to maintain a family Calendar and Task list. It also sends members a morning “Your Day Ahead” brief with schedules, outstanding tasks and work completed by the agent the previous day.

Google says CC can pre-fill registration PDFs, check live drive times through the Google Maps API and create shared Docs and Sheets. If a task is missing necessary details, the agent asks a member for them and can use the answers to update its group memory. According to Google, that memory separates household-level information, such as a common grocery list, from person-specific details such as dietary preferences or local time zones.

Each CC instance runs on what Google describes as an isolated cloud computer powered by its Antigravity agentic harness and latest Gemini models. Google did not identify a specific Gemini model, say how long memories are retained, or detail the administrative and audit controls available to individual members. It also did not provide adoption figures, pricing or a general-availability date.

Google introduced the original CC in December 2025 as a single-user experiment connected to Gmail, Calendar, Drive and the web. That version delivered a daily morning briefing. Google says the experience moved into the Gemini app as Daily Brief in May.

The household version is an early Google Labs experiment available on web and mobile to U.S. users aged 18 or older with personal Google accounts. Google says existing CC users will receive upgrade emails, while new users can join a waitlist.
