Google Now monitoring my calls?

[jdubb127]

The strangest thing happened today while using my s4. I had a 10 minute conversation on the phone with a friend about weekend plans. The plans included getting a limo and going to a specific venue. This afternoon I noticed that my Google Now app has two new cards on it, the first being limo rental offers in the area, and the second card giving reviews of the venue that was discussed during the call. Is Google Now monitoring my phone conversations? Has anyone else noticed this with their head set ?
Thanks in advance.

Did you search anything related to limos?

Nope, I didn't search anything related to the call. I noticed in my notifications today at one point there was also a notification estimating the travel time from my current location to the venue talked about in the call. The same notification appears usually estimating how far my commute home will be from the current location. Creeping me out...

Nonsense. At some point you did a search on those subjects and Google remembered even if you didn't.

Even if that was true was it a coincidence that those two cards happened to appear 6 hours after a phone call on the same subject? I've got better things to do than start rumors on forums, was just curious if it had happened to anyone else and I was out of the loop. I get bad reception in my house and often it switches to WiFi calling when I lose reception if that makes a difference .

Did you get an email related to the call with any of that information in it?

You either got something related to that in your email, looked it up on Google maps, searched for it on the Internet (if on a different device you're signed in).
There is no way Google found that information from your call.

I'm betting you looked up the venue on Google Maps. That's the only time you get travel time to destination cards.

Email or search results are the reason behind it. Even IF Google could listen to your calls for marketing purposes they would deliver those results real time now 6 hours later. That said I don't think they are listening, its not a Moto X after all and that IS always listening (if you turn that feature on anyways).
