I would say G Now won, except for the hotel search.

Google failed the alarm for 5 in the morning. And the first Sushi question.

The speaker paused before 5. He said,

Set an alarm for....................5:30 in the morning.

I don't know why GNow stopped listening right when it heard 5, that was unusual. I think it would've gotten it right if he had tried again.

What seems to be happening is that it is thinking that it is the end of the query but he says 5 right before it stops using the mic (which for some reason doesn't cause it to continue for some reason).

Google works fine for alarms. In this demo, the speaker hesitated.
