More Info »Google Now recognizes repeated actions that a user performs on the device (common locations, repeated calendar appointments, search queries, etc.) to display more relevant information to the user in the form of “cards”. The system leverages Google’s Knowledge Graph project, a system used to assemble more detailed search results by analyzing their meaning and connections.On Android 6.0 “Marshmallow”, Google Now supports an additional feature known as “Now On Tap”, which allows users to perform searches within the context of information currently being displayed in an app. When a user activates the feature, by holding the “Home” button or using a voice command, the entire text content of the current screen is parsed to search for keywords and other information (such as the names of people, television programs and films, etc.), which is then used to generate cards that display information, suggestions, and actions related to the content.
