Google Now will read your email to suggest creating calendar events
The Google Assistant keeps getting better every week. A tool designed to offer the user information and actions in a proactive In other words, almost automatic, learning from the user and presenting in the form of cards all the data you need even before it searches for you Something that is really useful in practice, but for which you need a analysis of user information that can make people's hair stand on end those most concerned about their privacy
A good example of all this is the latest feature discovered in Google Now A tool that, for the moment, is in the experimental phase, so not all users will have it. This is the possibility to receive suggestions to write down in the calendar any type of event that has been talked about or planning through the service Gmail mail A good option for the most absent-minded users who need to write down all their appointments, but for what Google should loop through conversations in email messages.
At the moment only some users are receiving these special cards that suggest creating an event in the user's calendar. Thus, Google Now gives the option to set an appointment for a specific date, by doing reference to an email or email of the user.All of this on the same card so that the user only has to accept or deny the action of recording said appointment. A tool designed to prevent these types of appointments or events that are sometimes planned in message chains from being forgotten Or perhaps, to prevent the user from losing their time looking for this information in Gmail
To do this Google Now is in charge of scanning and searching messages and emails sent and received through Gmail, automatically detecting any remarkable date or placethat can refer to an event or appointment. With all this information and an extract from the email where the supposed appointment is mentioned, Google Now creates the card and presents it on its main screen so that the user can create or not the event on the calendar automatically.
Despite the benefits of this feature, Google may have decided to release it minority to test its acceptance among users. And it is that, despite the fact that the concept of predicting the needs and concerns of the user to present the information they are looking for is the most seductive, its practice can be scary. Even more so if you need to review private issues such as email messages. A useful point for warnings of package shipments or flight delays that already includesGoogle Now when reviewing Gmail, but that can be scary if what you are studying are personal messages. Data that does not have to leave Gmail or be read by people, only by machines
For the moment the possibility of creating appointments automatically seems not to reach all users of the platform Android. We will have to wait to see how this assistant evolves and its next possibilities.
