Why does it have to have that dumb name? Call it something that makes you understand what it is! Google Talk/Messenger/Chat/whatever. But I guess those names all belong to abandoned products, sigh.

I don't know why this is a standalone app and simply not integrated into hangouts or messenger?

So can this combine SMS and online messages in one group chat or is this just going to be more bullshit?

Yeeeeah, it sounded like Google started a skin cream business with that name. This is going to be the forth messaging app that Google maintains: Google Voice (standalone, Hangouts, Messaging, and now Allo.

Suggested things are a blessing and a curse. The latest Android Google Search app inserts trending search suggestions without a way to turn them off.
 
Google are setting up a platform for conversational commerce. It's no coincidence Facebook rolled out that Messenger update last month.

To be fair though, Photos was successful despite both Picasa and G+ Photos. They had to depreciate the older versions, so perhaps they'll do the same thing for Hangouts and Messaging.
 
I was hoping for a useful messaging client. Built in assistant is nice, but I don't see where it actually makes my SMS messages any better besides making it easier to find memes on google image search. Blah.
