WIP For the New Thread (ignore)lol
I really like the cards and I want G-Now to give me updates
So I played around with it, and here is what I got.
Here are some commands that will bring up those cards
Now cards will update automatically based on your location, and search.
"Now Cards" are the ones that show at all times when you open Google Now, like the ones shown in the picture above.
