Google Allo
This new messaging app introduced by Google has something very cool. The app uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to predict whatever your contact is going to say now; even the same scenario applies on images too. An assistant is present in its chat interface that suggest you and your friend the best restaurants in the town when both of you are planning to eat outside. Still working is continuing on it because it is not perfect. Like, it doesn’t work on multiple devices and phone number must be required to use this app. But still it is an interesting alternative of any messenger.
