Your boarding pass would appear when you arrived at the airport, sports scores would appear when your favorite team was playing, upcoming calendar events would be listed, etc.<\/p>\n<p>Google Now was eventually replaced by Google Assistant, and this proactive interface of information was lost for a bit. Eventually, Google added it back. At first, it was called the \u201cToday\u201d view, but now we know it as \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/52031\/google-updates-assistant-snapshots-to-agregate-your-tasks-in-one-place\/\">Snapshot<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/52031\/google-updates-assistant-snapshots-to-agregate-your-tasks-in-one-place\/\"><strong><em>Google Updates Assistant Snapshots to Agregate Your Tasks in One Place<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Like its predecessor, Snapshot is meant to be proactive. It\u2019s highly customizable and can hook into your other Google services. You get a \u201csnapshot\u201d of what\u2019s happening at that moment and what\u2019s coming up.

Well, that\u2019s really up to you. It\u2019s intended to be a highly personal feature. The information is organized into cards, and you can customize which cards you\u2019ll see and what they\u2019ll show.<\/p>\n<p>Google categorizes these cards into a few groups.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Upcoming Tasks:<\/strong> These cards are for alerting you about things happening now (or that will happen) in your future. Some examples include weather, reminders, calendar events, bills, and commute times.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Recommendations:<\/strong> Cards with recommendations for things like movies and recipes.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Travel:<\/strong> Cards specifically for travel-oriented tasks, like car reservations, currency conversions, and language translations.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Celebrations:<\/strong> Upcoming birthdays for friends and family, anniversaries, and public holidays.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Interests:<\/strong> Upcoming games and scores for your favorite teams, stock market alerts, updates about your stock portfolio, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many of these things rely on information from other Google services. For example, Snapshot can grab upcoming bills from your Gmail, events from Google Calendar, commute times from your \u201cWork\u201d location in Google Maps, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to being able to turn off all of these different cards, you can also customize how they work. You can decide which Google Calendars appear, customize recipe recommendations, pin cards to the top of the page, and more.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s a lot to take in, but just think of Snapshot as a dashboard for anything you might find useful. Google does the work of surfacing the content for you. All you have to do is decide what you like or don\u2019t like. Eventually, no input is required.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Use_Google_Assistant_Snapshot\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"moka_anchor_HowToUse\">How to Use\u00a0Google Assistant Snapshot<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Using Snapshot is as simple as launching Google Assistant.
