Allo and Duo are the latest apps from google. Allo is a Messenger apps like the popular Facebook and Whatsapp Messengers, developed by Google for both android and iOS, Duo is a video calling or chatting app. Google confirmed the lunch of Allo via their blog earlier this week where they describe it as the "smarter Messaging apps". Is Google Allo a direct competitor with Facebook and Whatsapp Messengers? I say YES because it has some cool features like Google bot that learns about your chat with time, more like an assistant.
Features of Google Allo
One of the main feature that separates Allo from other messaging apps is the Google Assistant(bot) that acts like a virtual assistant,. It learns your chat over time and gives you "smart" suggestions making chatting and staying in touch with loves ones fun and easy.
You and your friend might be discussing where to go and have fun at the weekend and the Google assistant could suggest Movies, if you pick the suggestion, it could go further to automatically search and show you the nearest cinema closest to you and even their movie schedule in few seconds. Cool right?

Another feature is that you can talk with Google Assistant using text directly on Allo just by typing "@Google". - talk directly what you require and it will provide it for you, just like google search but you wont need to leave the app to do so.
Although Google Allo requires just phone numbers instead of gmail account to operate the app, it might be associated with your gmail account if you have one, just for the purpose of personalizing the infornation provided by Google Assistant.
