Nova Launcher is one of the favorite launchers amongst fans of customizing their Android devices. It comes along with all sorts of elements to be modified and added such as new themes, icons, effects, widgets, the possibility to carry out backups or a hidden task manager.

However, it lacks one thing, or at least it used to: it wasn't integrated into Google Now, the smart personal assistant developed by the guys at Mountain View. Now, the developers of this famous launcher have released a companion app that precisely adds this function, enabling Google Now in Nova Launcher: Nova Google Companion.
