Google Now

Google Now ® recognizes a user's repeated actions performed on the
device (including access of common locations, repeated calendar
appointments, search queries, etc.). This information is then used to
display more relevant information to the user in the form of "cards".
These scrollable on-screen cards are displayed when the Google
Now application is launched.
These cards are not manually added.
The service uses your GPS, Google Search, and usage information to
generate these cards automatically.
To initially set up Google Now:
1. Press and hold (Home) and then tap
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to review the available
information.
3. When prompted, agree to launch the application. Some initial
on-screen "cards" are shown. A default is the Weather card
that provides updated weather information in your area.
To configure the Google Now settings:
1. Press and hold and then tap
2. Press and select Settings.
3. Access each desired Settings page and configure it as desired.
When these condition are met, new card information will begin to
appear in the Google Now list of cards.
