New Chat for Google. So challenge Facebook – The Republic

GOOGLE is working on an app that will use artificial intelligence to introduce “chatbot”, a sort of virtual users that will be authorized to seek answers on the web and provide them to users in the flesh. The news was released by the Wall Street Journal . The new chat should allow Big G to relaunch the sector: its app Hangouts and Messenger , in fact, do not equal the success of WhatsApp and Messenger Facebook and this new move could make up ground to Google. Rather than try on the search engine, you can type a question in the chat and get an answer from the chatbot, remember that the previous conversations creating a ad hoc response to the interests and profile of the user. If in the past has informed the vegetarians, for example, the next looking for a restaurant will not show those specializing in steaks.

In fact, the chatbot are not an invention of Google: the app Telegram in fact it already has hundreds , specialized topic and developed from small startup that Google Labs 200, according to the Wall Street Journal , he unsuccessfully attempted to acquire last October.

Even Facebook, then, has already introduced the use of artificial intelligence on the Messenger app with “M”, a virtual assistant by chat as well as providing information that allows you to shop, book a hotel and even give suggestions on gifts to do. “M”, however, is supported by the intelligence of a real group of people dedicated to this application.
