Google's personal assistant for its Android Jelly Bean mobile operating system is coming to the Internet search leader's Chrome browser.
The news about Google Now was disclosed in a
developers' log posted to the Internet last Friday by the company.
According to the log entry, Google's engineers have created a "skeleton" to implement Google Now in Chrome that shows cards created by the service as notifications.
By hooking Google Now into its Chrome browser, the service has the potential to become a cross-platform offering, since Google makes versions of the browser for Windows, MacOS X and Apple iOS operating systems. That contrasts with Apple's personal digital assistant Siri, which only works on some Apple devices.
