Google's Project CC gives a family agent its own identity and sandbox

Project CC, an experimental assistant from Google Labs, gets access to a family's information through its own account rather than through anyone's password. In the Google AI post, Google says it has expanded CC into a group agent for families, and that CC has its own identity through a verified Google account and email address. Family members share specific documents or images with it, and can set up rules that auto-forward email from chosen senders, such as a child's school or an airline, while the rest of each inbox stays private.

That arrangement lets CC take part in a household's email, calendar and Drive the way another person would. Google calls it a "digital collaborator" rather than a personal agent. In its examples, a family member forwards a photo of a sports practice schedule and CC adds the sessions to the shared calendar; when the family is choosing a restaurant, CC suggests options, narrows the list and schedules the pick, replying in the thread if it needs permission to act. Google says CC runs on its latest Gemini models on isolated cloud computers.

The post does not explain which actions require that permission, or what the isolated computers can reach, and the blog post it links was not part of the material collected here. CC is still a Labs experiment with a waitlist.
