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

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.

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

		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.

How many of non-tech people have even encountered the term CC before? E-mail is a receive-only medium for most of them.

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

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.

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.

I guess they want to use the email CC concept showing the agent is a side assistant.

Same energy as calling YouTube Premium YouTube Red.

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.

		According to other comments on this thread: Yes! That's it exactly! Carbon Copy! Except from email, not rip-offs :) /s (And: agreed on this being a terrible name!)

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

Also, another unsearchable name, just like Go.

I guess people will be searching for "CC agent" or something.
