Google's predictive digital assistant, Google Now, has arrived on the search giant's Chrome browser.

Those using the beta version of Chrome on Mac, Windows, or Chromebook can enable Google Now notifications by signing into Chrome with the same Google account used for Google Now on Android or iOS.

The same Google Now cards that adorn your smartphoneweather, sports scores, commute traffic, event reminderswill now be visible on your Chrome desktop.

"So the next time you're finishing up emails at your desk, Google Now might suggest that you leave the office a bit early to beat the heavy traffic on the way to your dinner date," Google software engineer Travis Skare wrote in a blog post.

To view notifications, click the bell icon on your Mac or Windows desktop, or the numbered box on Chromebook, which will open the Chrome notification center.

In order to show relevant Google Now cards, the service continues to check your mobile location even when Chrome is not running. To turn that off, click the gear icon in the Notifications Center, then uncheck the box next to "Google Now."

Google Now notifications in Chrome Beta are available in English only; other languages will be supported soon.

Rumors about Google Now on Chrome date back to 2012. Initially launched as part of the Android platform, it landed on the iPhone and iPad last spring, offering a rival to Apple's Siri.
