What Google Allo's launch means for chatbots

While Google Allo is still fresh off the starting block, it could become the most significant chatbot messaging platform ever. Of course, for now, it does not even allow third-party participation. It's fairly limited, and it has an uphill climb if it is going to replace WhatsApp or Messenger on your phone. Yet, there are hopeful signs. The app already uses a Smart Reply feature that can parse out requests.
