Google Now is intuitive while Apple Siri needs to be prompted
Google Now provides the answers to questions before they are asked. For instance, if you have visited a sports page, the Google Now will send you updates about that particular page. All the information that is relevant to your interest and preferences will be sent to your device automatically. This feature is not currently present in Apple Siri.
