Google is testing a new version of CC, the artificial intelligence agent that until now prepared your day from Gmail, the calendar and Drive. It is getting a new job: running the household. School timetables, training sessions, bills, weekly menus, shopping lists, even filling in PDF consent forms for a school trip. Google says users asked for this themselves - and that is probably true, because nobody wants to read all those emails.

The key novelty is not the task list but that CC gets its own Google account. The agent has its own address, its own permissions and its own memory for the group. Each family member - up to six people - chooses what to forward it: emails from the school, from the club, birthday invitations, booked doctor's appointments. It can also be automatic: you pick senders whose messages always go to the agent, and CC proposes new ones each week itself. So over time, an ever larger share of the family's mail ends up with it.

From there the agent pulls dates and obligations into a shared calendar and task list: the orthodontist sends a confirmation - CC enters it; the school announces a day off - CC writes it down. If data is missing, it asks. Technically it runs on its own isolated cloud computer, with Gemini and Google's agent framework called Antigravity. It sounds tidy. But an "isolated computer" with access to six people's email is still a computer with access to six people's email.

There are limits too, and they say a great deal. The experiment is available only in the US, only with a personal Gmail and only for over-18s. Teenagers, whose schedules are the main reason for the whole thing, are not allowed to use it - unless they lie about their age. School addresses do not pass either, even though entire generations of American pupils live on Chromebooks and Google apps, and it is precisely those inboxes that are full of school notifications. A product for families that half the family cannot get into.

Google is not alone in this race. Startups like Ollie and Fambot are already trying to sell AI help to parents specifically. The difference is weight: a startup asks you to install it; Google already has your email, calendar and documents, and is only asking permission to connect them. And the permission is not given by one person but by a whole household, member by member.

Existing CC users will get an invitation by email; new ones wait on a list. Nothing for us for now - the experiment does not cross the ocean. But the model is clear: an agent with its own account, its own place at the table and a view of everything the family considers unimportant enough to forward. How many households in the Balkans would let somebody else's software into the parents' group chat? The answer probably depends on how many unread school emails are waiting for you.
