Google Introduces Messaging App Allo, Fresh Movie Talk App Duo
In an announcement no one witnessed coming today at Google I/O, Google went ahead and unveiled two fresh apps, one for messaging and another for movie talking. The apps are called Allo and Duo, respectively.
Unluckily, Google was just previewing the apps today and hasn't made them available, but they did talk slew about them. This is what you need to know.
Allo is an app that Google is calling a “wise” messaging app that is tied to your phone number (sort of like WhatsApp). Because it's tied to your phone number, hopefully it becomes lighter for you to persuade other people to use it, since it will also just be tied to their phone number. Or as Google puts it, this idea lets you lightly get in touch with the people in your phonebook (and very likely send them an invite to use Allo).
With Allo, you get a mostly standard messaging client, but it attempts to learn from you over time to display suggestions that permit you to have conversations without typing. It learns if you are a “haha” or “lol” person, can suggest responses based off of photos being collective (yep, it does photos too), and brings the power of the fresh Google Assistant.
By using Google Assistant, Allo brings you Google inwards of your app (Think the iOS-only Gboard but better!). That means you can talk with the fresh Assistant and get things done without leaving your talk app. You can book dinner reservations, edit photos, get sports scores, play games, use Search/Maps/YouTube/Translate, check your calendar, see flight information, photos from your last excursion, and more. You can ask the assistant (by typing @google) if your flight is delayed or what the weather is like, find soccer highlights, etc., all within Allo.
You can even setup an incognito conversation to permit Allo to encrypt your talk.
Pretty sweet, right?
As for Duo, this is Google's fresh one-on-one movie talking app that is supposedly indeed prompt. Google says that this should work flawlessly across both slow and prompt connections, which means you can movie talk at all times if you want, from anywhere.
The app has a Knock Knock feature that shows you who is calling on movie before you response, displays movie talks in 720p (HD), and sports end-to-end encryption.
Both apps are now live on Google Play for pre-registration. As I mentioned earlier, they won't be available until “this summer.”
