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.
My first thought was the irony of something used to interface with models that were trained on data that was presumably not properly licensed having the same name as the Creative Commons abbreviation.
Until someone at Google makes signups to this someone's KPI. Then you'll hear about it whenever you touch any Google product until it inevitably gets killed in 18 months. Meanwhile the PM hit their KPI and got promoted.
It’s not like it’s a lot of work to fill out permission slips. Probably easier than scanning the document. Receiving permission slips is the only way I’m informed about school trips anyways. I’m not sure this is a valid use case. Maybe for people who want even less participation with their families.
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.
One is pi.dev on the console, but because the KB is a git repository I have it on each computer. On top of that I also run Hermes Agent and have set up there one agent to be responsible for the KB stuff and that one I connected to a Matrix channel and can use it from the phone and any device where I have a matrix client like Element set up.
And the award for most awful product name launch this year goes to Google.
Seriously who wrote off on such an awful name?

Why in the world of all bad naming would they choose the two letters that abbreviate one of their largest competitors product

Same energy as calling YouTube Premium YouTube Red.
It's pretty obvious the name comes from the email cc: field
Non-tech people who this is targeted at don't know what Claude Code is.
It took me 10 minutes to figure that out, and I have been in tech for 30 years :) I'm probably just dense but it's not a good sign.
non tech people will never hear about it haha, and if they did they'd be ten times as baffled as the others in this thread

Thats still an awful name.
They can still find a different name. Cc is not the only possible name in the names universe.
What is Google's CC supposed to even stand for?
Carbon Copy? As in, a rip-off?
Whatever hellhole committee named this did a poor job.
it's ridiculously bad
And it's not even a CC-like, it's a claw-like, afaict?
By that measure, every email client is promoting Claude Code. ;)

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.
At least we know KilledByGoogle will never be starved for content.

What do you do for communication with the agent?
One is pi.dev on the console, but because the KB is a git repository I have it on each computer. On top of that I also run Hermes Agent and have set up there one agent to be responsible for the KB stuff and that one I connected to a Matrix channel and can use it from the phone and any device where I have a matrix client like Element set up.
With pi.dev I use it in a container https://git.jeena.net/jeena/agent-container and selectively give it access to Firefox via https://github.com/ThinkerYzu/foxmcp when I want it to help me with something in the browser (doing taxes, applying for things online in a foreign language, etc.)
What does CC stand for in this context? Shouldn’t you define your acronyms near the top of the article? Feels pretty amateur coming from Google.
It has its own Google account, so maybe CC like in email? Which is "carbon copy".
I wonder if the younger generations could explain the origins of carbon copy.
I think it’s a reference to “CC’ing” someone by email (they also use that in the examples).
Why…
It's not an acronym. It's a name.
Terribly confusing name and title.
Creative Commons. Closed Captions. Comedy Central. Cubic Centimeter.
I guess this is some sort of forced evolution of Carbon Copy but it seems weakly tied
