Google's Smart Reply feature will soon be made available to third party apps like WhatsApp, Facebook and others just like we have in Allo, where the app guesses what you might respond to a message with, and adds a button to send that response.
Invites to test Smart Reply were sent out by Area 120, a division of Google that works on experimental products. As reported by Android police
The email outlined a few features of the Reply app. Smart replies can be shown directly in the message's notification for an instant response. It might even add smarter replies like when someone asks for an ETA, Google would be able to calculate it for you.
Other Things The Smart Replies Contains includes:
- Do Not Disturb. When you’re driving, Reply can silence your phone and tell people who message you that you can’t chat right now
- Don’t miss the important stuff. When you get an urgent message like “We’re waiting for you!” Reply can make sure to get your attention even when your phone is silent.
- Vacation responder. Reply can check your calendar and tell people if you’re not working.
- Your Favorite Chat Apps: Reply works with Hangouts, Allo, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Android Messages, Skype, Twitter DMs, and Slack.
The app would be compatible with Hangouts, Allo, Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, Android Messages, Skype, Twitter DM, and Slack.
The feature would take into account the message you receive and scopes out keywords to predictively suggest a quick answer to the email.
