At the Google I / O conference last May, the company announced a "smart messaging app" called Allo, which will only require your phone number to track you down. Apparently we will not have to wait long to try it.
According to tipster Evan Blass, Allo will be released on September 21.
So within a month of the release of Duo Violet Call, Google is reportedly preparing to release a second messaging application with end-to-end encryption, temporary personal messages, stickers, and text formatting options for more expressive conversations.
The most interesting thing, however, is that the application will use AI, and mechanical engineering techniques to suggest appropriate text and graphic responses, reducing typing.

So if someone sends you a photo of a dog or a baby, the app will suggest responses like “how cute!” using it technologyof Google's image recognition, which can now recognize things like dog breeds and types of pasta with up to 90 percent accuracy.
Also, the app will support Google Assistant, which will act as a contact you can chat with and ask questions. Essentially it will be a friendly Google search bot, enriching your messages with various searching results like for restaurants if you are talking about some dinner.
All of the above can be done without one account of Google. So Allo could become a popular messaging tool, but with rivals like Whatsapp and Facebook Messenger, should probably try hard.
