Ask HN: Would you pay for app similar to Google Now functionality IF...

So, WOULD YOU and HOW MUCH PAY max. per month (sub.based) for apps similar to functionality offered by apps/services like Google Now/Cortana.

When talking about functionality, focus would be on proactive help/information/reminders/alerts etc. and automation of tasks.

If hypothetically that app/service exists, differentiating factors would be: - offers at par or even better performance than existing apps/services - is completely transparent on all information that it stores for your profile - it offers you control over which information is stored and analyzed - it offers you to download any information which is stored - no ads / your information is not shared with advertisers or any 3rd party - with option that all information is stored locally

I am interested in knowing what market potential and necessary functionalities for this kind of apps/services (personal assistants) that would motivate you to pay for it.

Any constructive comment, whether positive or negative, is greatly appreciated.
