Attending Google I/O event is a bit like getting an exclusive and privileged access to Google product news. This year, big announcement with the Google Home release, a connected loudspeaker acting as a personal assistant thanks to embedded voice recognition capabilities (a bit similar to Amazon Echo).

But the most interesting announcement to us will definitely be the upcoming release this summer of two new communication applications: Allo and Duo.

Allo looks like a traditional messaging app if you put aside the possibility to interact with bots.  For example, while chatting with a friend on your way to the movies, you could type  “Google, please show which movies are on at the theater tonight”. Google will understand the request context (find the movies at the nearest movie theater) and display the result in the middle of your conversations so that all involved participants may access the piece of information at the same time! Could be rather time-saving…or potentially lead to funny situations!
