That's pretty cool. I didn't know Google Now could do that (offer predictive info in the Google App on iOS). I actually had to enable Google Now for our domain.
Now I need to figure out how to get it to send me a notification on my desk or something. Google has all the info I need. The trick is getting them to give me the info in a convenient (at hand without really having to do very much) kind of way.
