Google is introducing Hindi language capabilities to the Assistant and Smart Reply in Google Allo. These new features will begin rolling out on Google Allo on Android and iOS and they will be available to all users over the coming few days.
Google Allo is not the regular chat app that lets you converse with friends; the chatting app includes Google Assistant. This feature can help you determine travel time from one place to another, check out the cheapest flights to a certain destination, and discounts. You can accomplish all this by typing @google followed by your question. The assistant feature automatically furnishes the details you ask for.
With the new launch, the Google Assistant in Allo will now understand and respond in Hindi. Chat one-one-one with your Assistant in Allo, or just type @google to bring your Assistant into any group chat. To start using the Assistant in Hindi, just say ‘Talk to me in Hindi’ or adjust the language setting on your device.
The ‘Smart Reply’ feature makes it easier for users to respond quickly, even when on the go. We found that every day more than half of people on Allo use Smart Reply. Powered by Machine Learning, Google Allo not just understands text, but can also help with suggested responses to images sent by friends and family -- all in Hindi.
Smart Reply will recognize the language you’re chatting in and begin to show suggested responses in that language. If the user is chatting in English, it will continue to show English responses. But if they start chatting in Hindi, it will show the suggestions in that language. Users can also adjust the language through your device settings. So, now you can respond to your friends question ‘kya haal hai’ with ‘Sab theek Hai’ with a single tap.
Google Allo is a smart messaging app available on Android and iOS. Launched in September this year, Google Allo has definitely spiced up messaging with a slew of new features including AI support.
