Google Allo comes to Android and iOS to provide a better interaction in our conversations via chat, and integrating the new generation of virtual assistant from Google called Google Assistant.
What is Google Allo?
Allo is a new messaging app from Google, which is verified by using your phone number instead of your email, as does Google Hangouts.
Google says it Allo it is a new way of interacting with Google through a conversation more natural to get information and fulfill different tasks.
Although Google Assistant is only available for iOS and Android through the Allo, it is hoped in the future to reach the cars (with Android Auto), watches, smart (with Android Wear) and the home (Google Home), among others. This would mean that Google Assistant will have a better knowledge of your life to be able to be a wizard more useful.
In Google Allo, Assistant does not speak, only write. However, you can communicate with him via text or voice (with voice messages). In Allo, the Google Assistant will only respond through text messages.
For its part, Google Home, the horn was smart to come in the future, allows you to talk with Google Assistant (will answer with voice also).
Google’s Assistant is the new generation of the virtual assistant of the company of Mountain View that does not seek to replace, for the time being, Google Now, according to the company told CNET in Spanish.
what is Google Assistant?Gives suggestions for responding to messages (text or emojis, for example).Shows you suggestions to act using the context (what have you searched for a restaurant? Google Assistant the can you suggest another restaurant, see the menu, call and get directions, among other things). – You answers to your questions, as does Google Now, but more as a human response.- Shows you results Google your questions when you can’t respond in a natural way.- You can open apps through it – you Can ask for directions and ask for your next appointment – If you’re bored, you can ask them to tell you a joke – you Can ask him to show you Christmas pictures, dogs, or in specific locations (only works for now on Android, but it will come this fall to iOS).- You can ask questions inside of another conversation when you type @Google before your question.- You can program it so that, for example, every morning to show you the most important news (subscriptions).- Can translate text – to Perform calculations, mathematical or changes of measurements and currencies
Is it available in Spanish?
Google Allo yes, but the functions of the Assistant are available only in English.
it Is expected that in the future Google Assistant is available in English and more languages, but Google has not given an estimated date on when this will happen.

First impression
Google Allo is an app interesting that lets you express yourself better than many other apps through messages, and iOS is, without doubt, a direct competition to iMessage and integrates many functions similar.
Google’s Assistant has at the moment more pint of chatbot that of the assistant that is truly useful to the company presented on its conference for developers Google I/O to 2016 in may, but it is possible that this will improve with time.
This does not mean that Google Assistant will not be useful. On the contrary, Assistant can be very helpful, especially with their suggestions and search for information that you can share in the same chat with your contacts. It is clear that these are some developments of which the company has offered conGoogle Now and Google Now on Tap.
however, I think that Google Now on Tap is a better function that can be used from any screen with any app. And although you can share the results of the same way, I found myself with the need to conduct these searches so often and the searches that I did I could have done easily from the app of Google search or Google Now.
Also, Google Now allows you to get directions, photos of the place that you are looking for, make translations, create reminders, and many of the features that Google Assistant offers.
in Addition, Google Now you can respond with voice commands, while Google’s Assistant in Allo can’t do it.
In general, Google Allo (Google Assistant) works well, but it is necessary to download another app and your contacts use also this app to be able to enjoy it.
just like Google Duo, I think that the news of Allo had to be integrated into GoogleHangouts to achieve to improve this app and provide what is necessary for the users to enjoy without having to download more and more apps that work in a similar way.
Many of the functions are duplicated so that one may wonder: could it be that we need to download another app that serves us as a method of communication when there is already Google Hangouts, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, iMessage (even though at least Allo works across platforms), etc.?
it Is very likely that the curiosity get the app it is downloaded many times, but the most important thing for Google is its long-term use, and I doubt that most users will be willing to download the app to get some of the new features of Google.
it Is possible that this will change once Google launches Google Home and their other new devices, as with the evolution and better integration of Google Assistant in the different products of the company (cars, house, watches, tablets, cell phones, etc). In addition, the version of the wizard that is available at this moment, Google considers it as a prior version.
