Your HTC One has the Google Now feature - an extension to the native Android Google Search that acts similar to an intelligent personal assistant.
For example, Google Now gathers information from your previous Google Searches and based on that information, as soon as you start the day it displays news about: the weather, traffic, the directions and travel time to your next appointment, the arrival of the next train or bus at your bus stop or platform or the score and standings of your favorite team.

Setting Up Google Now

Note: In order to set up Google Now you need to have an internet connection, turn location services on and sign in to your Google account.
1. Open the Google app.
2. You’ll then see subsequent screens showing you examples of Google Now information cars -> check them out and tap Next until you see the Get Google Now! screen.
3. Then tap Yes, I’m in. Some Google Now info cards will then appear on the Google screen.
4. If you want to see all the available info cards, just tap Show sample cards.
Note: You’ll see more information cards on the Google screen as you use your smartphone to create appointments, search the Web and more. Keep in mind that Google Now gathers info based on your preferences and information that matters the most to you.
