Google Now

What it is?

Google Now is one of the more ambitious evolutions of Google's search software. The idea is simple — predict what you'll want or need to know before you know you need or want it, and serve it up in an easy-to-read format.

Google Now is available within the Google Search mobile application for Android and iOS, as well as the Google Chrome web browser on personal computers.

How it works?

Google Now uses a natural language user interface to answer questions, make recommendations, and perform actions by delegating requests to a set of web services.

Along with answering user-initiated queries, Google Now proactively delivers to users information that it predicts (based on their search habits) they may want.

The system leverages Google's Knowledge Graph project, a system used to assemble more detailed search results by analyzing their meaning and connections.

Google Now on Tap

On Android 6.0 "Marshmallow", Google Now supports an additional feature known as "Google Now On Tap", which allows users to perform searches within the context of information currently being displayed in an app. When a user activates the feature, by holding the "Home" button or using a voice command, the entire text content of the current screen is parsed to search for keywords and other information (such as the names of people, television programs and films, etc.), which is then used to generate cards that display information, suggestions, and actions related to the content.
