This new product comes from Yahoo's acquisition of Aviate, which was invite only when it was independent. This seems like Yahoo's attempt to create a Google Now competitor which could build more of an ecosystem. Yahoo News Digest, which also came from an acquisition (Summly) is equally slick.

Wow. This is really cool.
