hey this is dieter with The Verge and we're here at Google i/o 2015 and we're taking a look at now on tap which is the new feature from Google for the Android M primary and it's really wild it basically lets Google search inside any app and give you Google now cards so here's an example that Google has running out a demo a chat where someone's asking about pitch-perfect - so I can hold my finger down on the home button it reads the screen searches for it and then gives me cards so here's a card on Anna Kendrick I can go right into the IMDB app to get more information about her if I just want to go see pitch perfect - because obviously that's what I want to do right now I can go right into Flixter to go and get information about the movie and where I can play it and so on so that's pretty cool there's a bunch of other examples so you can even use an Instagram photo and you can see it says grub gardens so if we were to pull their finger down there it gives me a location I can call them I can navigate to them here's a tweet and it mentions an author Walter Isaacson the whole done now on tap it reads through the thing what's interesting here oh there's a dude named Walter Isaacson what books did he write well there is Walter I can see jobs you know I wrote that book and so on so that's pretty cool so basically any app inside Android M you can hold down the home button and search for what the contents of the app is it gives Google an advantage because it gets to know what's inside apps but really for you it's awesome you can do all kinds of stuff way faster and not have to cut and paste between apps and that's actually really exciting
