Google Now is an intelligent personal assistant app for Android and iPhone/iPad devices, that aims to assist your life by showing information based on the date, your location, and upcoming events.

Google Now is linked to your Google account, and uses the vast information contained in the account to help preempt and predict your future needs. For example, by being connected to your GMail emails, it can scan for upcoming Flights, Hotel Reservations, and other events, and alert you when the time is approaching.

Google Now is integrated with many Google products, including...

  • Google Search
  • Google Calendar
  • GMail / Google Mail
  • Google Maps
  • Google Places

Additionally, as it is an app on mobile devices, it can also use information obtained from the mobile device, such as your geolocation. Such uses for this include alerting you when you need to leave for work if the route has high traffic, and telling you the weather in your current location.
