Recently I took a business meeting to the UK and along the way witnessed how Google Now, the Artificial Intelligence Personal Assistant by Google, can be very helpful during taking holidays or business trips abroad. On completing the booking for the flight, the confirmation came through to GMail and on checking out Google Now, there were the details of the flight and the current weather at the destination. (See images below) While waiting in the lounge the app updated its details regularly meaning no need to constantly go and check the screens for the latest details, sitting back and enjoying some rest in the build up to the flight. The flight was delayed and I actually found out before the rest of the lounge did when the details changed to red and a message displaying the delay time was shown. This is a very cool feature and I am sure that it will become very useful for business trips and family holidays. Google Now Launcher is available free for download from this link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher&hl=en and is definitely worth its weight in gold. For more information check out the images below and also a post I wrote on our social pages introducing Google Now Launcher a few months ago. https://plus.google.com/115462608306132257847/posts/Ezo9ddKhPNP
