Google Now will open the doors to introduce cards from any application
The company Google continues to develop its intelligent and proactive assistant Google NowA tool capable of presenting information of interest to the user through cards before he searches for it A most useful feature that has already opened the doors for allow other applications to use this space to place their own cards. Of course, all this from the hand of GoogleNow, however, it is known that soon any application will have access to enter their information in this wizard to improve and facilitate the user's life in Android
Or at least that's what the Director of Product Management at Google Now, Aparna Chennapragada during the SXSW event being held in the United States. And it is that Google would be actively working on an API or developer tool that would allow any developer to create their own information cards for their applications to take directly to this space that the user can consult to be aware of everything that interests them.
This is something that was to be expected given the evolution of the assistant Google Now After a few months of testing its pilot project in which several applications such as Pandora, Lyft or Airbnb, among many others, where data such as recommended playlists, nearby rental places on trips, etc., it was only a matter of time before the doors were opened to new tools.
The curious thing is that, according to the media Android Police, the new cards introduced through the API that Google is still developing, they will take advantage of the intelligence and knowledge of the company And it is that Google knows very well how each person uses their mobile De this way will take advantage of the data about schedules, displacements and other details to show the pertinent information, of the usual application, and at each moment of the day.What has been a intelligent assistant that really adds value to its use, and not a mere wall with data that helps to advertise one application or another. Or at least that's the theory.
For now we will have to wait for there is no official date for the arrival of this development tool or API for developers of operating system Android However, the recent update of the application Google (formerly known as Google Search), suggests that it won't be long in coming. In addition, according to the medium Droidlife, it is now possible to send a message through Hangouts giving a voice command in Google Now Simply say that you want to send a message, then specify the recipient and finally dictate the content.Issue that seems to be activating progressively through
Issues, all of them, that will still be waiting, although not for long. And it is that Google Now is not only useful to consult this information from time to time from the mobile, but it is a pillar within the platform Android Wear for smartwatches, where the cards with information are protagonists, as are thevoice commands
