Google Allo is more than just a messaging app. It’s a clever conversation. Allo is a free-to-use intelligent chat app. Express yourself creatively: Choose from doodles, stickers, emojis and type styles and sizes. Allo comes with a virtual assistant built in that you can converse with naturally. During a chat with a colleague, you can bring up the assistant to Google something without leaving the conversation. Using it over time, Allo will learn your behavior and personality, and suggest replies for you. The app also available is an incognito chat that offers useful end-to-end encryption. — Bryan Young
