Google’s new ‘CC’ is an AI agent that helps families run their households

Google is testing a new product designed to help families coordinate with the support of an AI agent. This week, the search giant introduced a new version of CC , an AI agent designed to work across email, calendar, chats, and tasks. With the update, CC now focuses on keeping families organized, planning for the day ahead, and even handling family-specific tasks, like signing permission slips, creating shopping lists, or crafting weekly meal plans.

The move to make CC more family-focused comes as a number of AI startups are experimenting with how to best fit agentic AI into consumers’ lives. Some AI tools, like Ollie and Fambot , for instance, have aimed their services directly at helping parents and families.
