Now Nudge

Why It Exists

Users need timely relevant information without manually checking multiple apps or setting up individual reminders.

How It Works

Galaxy Now Nudge is Samsung's AI-powered notification system that proactively delivers contextually relevant information throughout the day. Using on-device NPU processing and Samsung Cloud, the system analyzes user behavior, location, schedule, and app usage to determine the right information at the right time. Nudges appear as smart notifications that can include travel times, meeting reminders, app suggestions, and proactive alerts. The system learns from user preferences and applies contextual locking to prevent unwanted screen flips.

Everyday Use Cases

• Travel time alerts
• Meeting reminders
• App suggestions
• Proactive weather alerts
• Context-aware notifications
• Smart reminders

User Workflow

• System learns user patterns and preferences over 3 days
• AI builds a daily schedule model
• Context triggers are set for location, time, and behavior
• Nudge is delivered proactively
• User interacts or dismisses the nudge

AI Processing Flow

Behavioral patterns are analyzed by on-device NPU models to build a usage profile. Location data triggers context-aware nudges. Calendar events generate proactive reminders. App usage patterns predict likely next actions. Samsung Cloud syncs preferences across devices with encryption. All data stays encrypted and is not used for advertising.
