6. I know what’s good for you
The robot brain will
suggest meals for the
day. It will order our
shopping, finding out
from other robots in the
local shops where the
best buys are.

Search occurring when you’re not even using
the search engine. Queries constantly

can suggest what you
should do next, what you
care about. Imagine:
We know where you
are, we know what
you like.
