Smarter WhatsApp: Learn how to use automatic replies
WhatsApp can be smarter with the help of Reply, a new Google application that creates automatic responses to messengers. Available for testing on Android smartphones, the app uses artificial intelligence to read your messages and suggest texts ready to respond with just one touch directly from the notification.
The wizard promises to understand the context of the conversation, the user's location and other variables to present interaction options in Portuguese and speed up the exchange of messages. In general, it only offers the answer and the user chooses whether to send it or not. But when driving or running, for example, the app can send the message on its own. See in the tutorial how to download, configure and use the Google bot in WhatsApp.
