Google's smart messaging app, Allo, was launched with the company's machine learning tech and included natural language processing advances from Search. Now, the app is all set to get a Web client, reveals Nick Fox, VP, Communications Products at Google. Additionally, Google has renamed its SMS app for Android, Messenger, as Android Messages. It will be promoted as the messaging app built for Android.
The first sneak peak of the Allo Web client was given away by Fox in a tweet that read, "Still in early development, but coming to a desktop near you." The screenshot shared by Fox clearly shows that the Allo on the Web will support the same features its mobile app, most notable of those being the Google Assistant bot. Allo's Smart Replies feature, where it suggests responses to messages, also appears to have been carried over to the Web app for Allo. Also seen are stickers. Unfortunately, Fox doesn't reveal an exact timeline for the release of the Allo app but he does refer it to be "still in early development." To recall, Google revealed that the Allo app was first made available in India.
