It's already used by the Google Now cards on Android, and it's a fantastic feature. If I book a flight, I automatically get a card that reminds me to leave for the airport at the correct time (taking traffic into account), without any interaction on my part.

- abraham 12y agoI find that fantastically useful when I'm traveling to meet family somewhere or when family is traveling to meet me. You can handily swipe them away if they are not useful though.
