OK Google, What Am I Doing Today?

In my kitchen, I have a Google Home device. After pouring my coffee, I ask it what I’m doing for the day. Google answers with not only my schedule but tells me the weather, news, the fact that my favorite band plays next Friday, and traffic heading south on I-75 is a mess so take the scenic route.

I’m simplifying a bit, but what Google does is query my calendar, my travel route to work, weather.com and NPR to help me through the day. Google compiles third-party in-formation (for example, NPR) and first-party information (Google Calendar) to create a body of practical knowledge for me to use.

Fast and simple. The assist I need in my everyday life.
