Google has repurposed its experimental CC tool into an agentic AI assistant designed for households, allowing up to six family members to share emails, a calendar, and a task list with one shared account. The agent sends daily briefings on upcoming events and can handle logistics like registration forms or shopping lists, though it asks permission before acting. CC previously existed as a solo daily-briefing feature before Google redesigned it based on tester feedback.
