To this time, Google Now was the main center to check the feed which Google uses to provide custom-tailored useful details or say contextual cards to the user for easy access.

Much like Google Now, the visual snapshot will also tell you about upcoming flights, restaurant, and movie reservations, surface suggested reminders based on commitments made in emails, nudge you about bills that need to get paid, update on stocks you follow, tell you where you parked your car, and even recommend voice apps to try.

Furthermore, it also includes invitations to explore news, weather, games, and local businesses, and Google is also planning on adding more features over time and one among them is the integration with Google Keep, Any.do, Bring, Todoist and other services.
