Google has rejoined the messaging wars with its artificially intelligent app, Allo

Allo, the standalone messaging app that Google announced back in May, is now available to the masses -- and probably smarter than any messaging app you've ever used. Allo comes with Google's AI assistant and search functionality baked in, which means it offers a handful of perks that other apps don't have. It will automatically suggest replies for you to send based on your conversation. If you're making dinner plans with a friend, it will surface nearby restaurants. You can ask it for movie times or directions or the score of the game.
