Google Now for Chrome

Google Now isn't perfect and does require a bit of tweaking. Assuming you're on Android, I'd try tapping on the three dot icon on cards to make sure they're set right (for instance, changing it so that Google knows you prefer driving to bicycling.) Also be sure to try the "wand" icon at the bottom for overall settings.

To make sure Google Now is up to date you can pull to refresh. For me it's never more than 20-30 minutes out of date.

Thanks for the hints. Seems like my Google Now works as expected then, but my lifestyle isn't (yet) supported...

The fact that it recommends I bicycle from Alcatraz is after informing it (through the icon with the three dots) I usually cycle, so that works right, sort of. My commute is bicycle+train, which unfortunately is not a combination of travel modes supported by Google Maps.

For me the "wand" displays 10 questions, which have a great deal of redundancy (5 out of the 10 are about the weather, for example.)

I wish it would pop up more cards by default that I could like/unlike, so it would learn more about my preferences over time.
