When a company is creating self-driving cars and computers you can wear on your face, it’s easy for other products and services to fly under the radar. Even if those products are super cool, they need promotion to be noticed. As it turns out, Google is creating software that can identify any song that’s playing around you or make something as stressful as planning a wedding seem easy as clicking a mouse. Unfortunately, most people didn’t know about them.
Google has a bevy of great products and services that even their biggest fans might not be aware of. Take a look at some of the best, least-known ones out there.
