1. When texting or emailing with Google Now, you can skip proper names and use shortcuts like, "Text my mom" or "Email my manager." But first, you'll need to establish those relationships.

For example, try asking for the weather on a specific day.You can also ask to play a song by a specific artist.The personal assistant can even understand complicated commands like, "Remind me to turn on the air conditioning when I get home." Google will then create a location-based reminder. 
3. By interpreting when you've stopped driving, Google Now will pinpoint your parking location and display it as a card.
4. Just because you're dictating an e-mail doesn't mean you have to sacrifice good grammar.
