Back button to lower
it.
After you decide to start using Google Now, you don’t need to do

Google Now doesn’t need any elaborate setup. The information
you need is always at your ngertips.

plus data from third-party products that you allow Google Now
to access.

your commute is like when you wake up in the morning. It also
uses information from Google services such as your Web History
