Personally I'm not at all sure about Google Now, mainly for ideological reasons.
i.e. Google already knows way more about effectively all of us than the Stasi, the KGB, the Gestapo/SS could ever have dreamed of. And we all know that the Google (which does 64% of all our searches) routinely assist intelligence agencies (FBI,MI5/MI6 etc) with their enquiries. And that is even before they get hacked a la Ashley Madison / NHS (8 million medical records) / eBay's 233 million users / ... Let alone the catastrophic crypto bug in OpenSSL itself. Nope, it's just not healthy for one organisation to know quite so much about each of us. So call me old fashioned, but I'm not so sure if I want to help Google even further with the level of privacy violation that Google Now seems to involve. OK, I'll get off my soapbox now.
