Well, Google's assistant, dubbed " Google Now ," is set to be much more powerful than it has been thus far. Launched in 2012, " Google Now " aims to find information for users before they even think about typing it into the search bar.

Here's how it's described:

“ Initially, Google Now offered obvious features that saudi whatsapp number were easily accessible through the app, such as weather reports or sports scores. But the information available has become increasingly sophisticated and complex through the use of various Google services (and their behavioral tracking capabilities).

The app will track your schedule and suggest in real time the best time to leave home to get to work on time. It will also dig through your emails to show you the next flight times, let you buy movie tickets, or notify you about an incoming package. Google Now can even remember where you parked your car .”

The next step is " Now on Tap ", which will allow you to scan everything on your smartphone's screen and then draw conclusions, relevant information or even links to useful applications.

Google wants to implement a " Now " feature that will tell you which nearby restaurant will have the shortest wait for your meal, which route is best for a weekend getaway, or remind you to take your prescription medication.

And here we come to the most disturbing thing. Here's what they're all getting at:

Google wants to convince users to share their personal data for convenience. Google “Now” is an app that will work best if we hand its creators the digital keys to our lives and trust it implicitly.

Apple, which is building its own predictive search engine for its Siri voice assistant, has dismissed Google’s data-hungry model as too intrusive on user privacy. Apple CEO Tim Cook said in a June speech, without specifically referring to Google:

" Some of the most successful and well-known companies have built their power by lulling their users into sharing their personal information carelessly. These companies are taking all the knowledge they can about you and making money off of it. We don't think that's right ."
