    And the award for most awful product name launch this year goes to Google.

    Seriously who wrote off on such an awful name?

      I didn't realize Phil Spencer went to Google.

      Waiting for CCONE next

        Reminds me of when I realized MSSQL sometimes gets shortened to just "SQL" or "SQL Server" always felt a little disingenuous like if they're implying they're the only SQL db in town, and then to top it off it dilutes search results.

        Go is already hard to look up, imagine trying to find help for "CC" of all things. Seriously, do they work on search engines at all over there? :)

      This year? CC was launched last year.

      This was the original launch announcement from 2025: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.google&#x2F;innovation-and-ai&#x2F;models-and-research&#x2F;google-labs&#x2F;cc-ai-agent&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.google&#x2F;innovation-and-ai&#x2F;models-and-research&#x2F;go...

        That sounds like it really flopped if that&#x27;s the case, I haven&#x27;t heard anyone excited about it, it&#x27;s still not too late for them to rebrand it, especially if they want it to become relevant.
