Google's CC agent gets its own account to run your family's logistics
The new CC, an AI agent built for families
Google Labs is expanding CC, its experimental personal agent, into a family assistant. CC now has its own Google account with a clear permissions model, letting up to six household members share selected emails, calendars, and tasks. It compiles a shared daily brief, tracks events, and can fill out permission slips or build meal plans. Each member controls what CC sees, and it runs on Google's Antigravity harness with Gemini models. Available in the U.S. for users 18 and over.
CC only sees what each member chooses to share, such as emails from your child's school, the local swim center, or the vet.

As a parent with kids at three different schools, help keeping track of their schedules would be amazing.
Currently updates from the schools are spread over multiple sources: paper notes, email, sms, "news" and "calendar" in school app (which are not kept in sync), and Facebook. Different schools use different apps.
Additionally the channels are often noisy, with messages about groups my kids don't belong to, and "helpful tips" like how to pack healthy lunchboxes. These notifications come in during the day while I'm working, get dismissed due to the low SNR and then the useful ones often slip through unnoticed.
Definitely an area that is ripe for disruption, but as others here have commented, I don't feel confident about Google being the provider.

Something like this could be helpful but nobody should be willing to give up their families privacy and autonomy to a cloud solution ran by Google that could disappear at any point in the future. This is the kind of thing you want to have some level of control over and the ability to keep it going as long as it’s useful vs. rely on a corporation that has made its money datamining everything we do to sell advertising. Either they’ll eventually abandon it or worse case figure out how to load it with surveillance to sell targeted ads.

The problem with anything AI google launches is that it's going to be fragmented across products with different teams building their own interpretations and it's just not going to work seamlessly. Most of their efforts now fail in one way or another and my guess is that it's just a symptom of how google builds things.

Will be shuttered in 3... 2... 1...
Cause it's Google.
I don't use new Google services. They've shut down too many that I loved and used daily.

I'm doing something similar but not for the whole family, just for myself, both for home stuff and for work stuff (seperated), but I just give pi access to the tools and accounts I want it to use. I don't use google for anything other than watching YouTube so it would not work for me anyway. I have a knowledge base git repo which the agents use together to do things. The PDF filling thing is especially cool with a KB in the background because the Agent can fill in 99% of the things by itself. It also organizes my todo lists and my calendar.
