Google Assistant is sliding into the Android Messages app

Google is continuing its mission to put Assistant everywhere and it's not just trying to stuff its digital helper in various hardware, but in more apps as well. The company already inserted Assistant in the Maps app, which it officially unveiled at CES this year. Here at MWC, Assistant is showing up in perhaps a more personal, conversational app -- Android Messages. It's basically the Assistant as it was in the Allo app (RIP) -- when you chat with your friends about things like movies, restaurants and the weather, Assistant will show suggestion bubbles to let you send info cards to your pal. The AI scans your texts for contextual clues as to what you're talking about.
