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

37m agoHN ↗

And it's not even a CC-like, it's a claw-like, afaict?

32m agoHN ↗

By that measure, every email client is promoting Claude Code. ;)

18m agoHN ↗

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.

9m agoHN ↗

They can still find a different name. Cc is not the only possible name in the names universe.

6m agoHN ↗

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

36m agoHN ↗

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.

30m agoHN ↗

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.

22m agoHN ↗

What do you do for communication with the agent?

30m agoHN ↗

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.

23m agoHN ↗

I think it’s a reference to “CC’ing” someone by email (they also use that in the examples).

21m agoHN ↗

It has its own Google account, so maybe CC like in email? Which is "carbon copy".

22m agoHN ↗

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

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.

15m agoHN ↗

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.
