What's considered Google now? Just the cards or also the voice search? I use the voice search for everything from Navigation to definitions of words. If its just the cards than I guess I voted wrong. I have History turned off so I don't get many...Other than it constantly wanting to navigate me home. Oh and I did use reminders for a haircut last Sat...

I love google now. The thing remembers where I travel to for work at least I think that's what its doing and it shows how long it takes for me to get there before I even leave. Thats crazy as hell and it's just awesome. Same with searches. If i search anything, it will show up more results later and results close to what I searched as well as any news ones pertaining to that search. And finally that the NBA is rolling, it keeps me posted with the live scores everytime.

I can go on and on but Google Now is definitely a keeper and can only get better for me.

I now say "Ok Jarvis" instead of "Ok Google" Why couldn't the Easter egg be a woman's name? At least they took it from Ironman films with Tony Stark?s OK Jarvis.

With Google now you can give commands. Like "Ok Google ... Remind me to buy a paint brush at Home Depot" It then looks for your nearest Home Depot and you set it for the reminder and the next time your N5's GPS is inside that Home Depot you should get a reminder to get the paint brush. Just for fun trigger a Google Now Easter Egg by saying "Ok Google ....... Make Me A Sandwich "

Here are some of the others features of Google Now command words.

I love that Google now is in the phone app I can just type a places name and the number comes up. I also use it for sports, news, weather, traffic, and more. I used to have the app for my iPhone when it first came out that's what made me switch to Android

Love, love, love Google Now. Ask any question, really - but it's the ability to follow up that's really impressive.

I use it a lot more now than I did with my previous device with CM10.2. It's likely due to the deeper integration and easier accessibility. There was another thread discussing the nuisance of having to hit "send" after asking Google Now to send a text. I agree that it's a bit counter-intuitive to the hands free use of Google Now to give the action. It would be good to see an option that allows you to enable/disable this requirement for various actions. I understand why it's there (users must verify the text is correctly translated), but having options is always could be a good thing.
