Google Allo Employs Artificial Intelligence To Power Advanced Messaging App

The messaging app will come powered by Google’s artificial intelligence software, dubbed Google Assistant, which will make chat conservations easier by suggesting responses as well as help people with booking cinema tickets, playing games and much more. The app’s “Smart Reply” feature suggests standard replies to messages based on context and learning the user’s patterns; the reply may be text, emojis, stickers or photos. Facebook Messenger also added this feature, enabling users to create accounts with their phone numbers just in case they are not on Facebook. When you type a word, there is a slider on the right side that lets you drag a finger up or down to increase or decrease the size of the text. Google has publicly released Allo today and it has also reneged on this privacy feature. Google promises that Smart Reply also adjusts to the user’s style and improves through time.

Incognito Mode Chats: Google promises that all chats in Allo are TLS encrypted, but incognito chats go one step beyond by providing end-to-end encryption, discreet notifications and message expiration. The software becomes more intelligent the more you use it, allowing it to better cater to your needs. Allo will hold on to chat conversations indefinitely until the user actively deletes them.

This helps bring Google Allo up to speed with the likes of WhatsApp and Apple’s newly-designed Messages app, which received a major overhaul in the launch of iOS 10. What makes it smart (amongst other things) is that it features a preview version of Google Assistant, which you can chat to one-on-one or in group conversations, by typing @google.

Alphabet Inc (NASDAQ:GOOG,GOOGL) has officially launched its new Google Allo messaging app. However, Google might have to encounter with one security problem with its messaging app. Now users no longer need to leave a conversation with friends just to grab an address, or share a YouTube video, or pick a dinner spot.

Google expected to launch Allo this week
