In addition to the Portuguese, support for the Hindi with this, the two languages ​​are the third to gain support on the platform, after English and German. It is worth noting that this is not simply a job of translation, as Google notes: there is a whole process of regionalization, of adapting responses to the country's culture. Point for the company, therefore, to glimpse the importance of the Brazilian market.

With the novelty, it is possible to talk in our native language about a series of subjects, ask questions, ask for directions, make advanced / targeted requests, and even evoke the Google Assistant within a conversation with a real person to share information with the other person. side of the line.

I quickly tested the feature and the Brazilian assistant really owes nothing to her original counterpart to perfectly understood speech, the ability to understand complex questions well calibrated and support for contextual requests the best in the industry (sorry, Siri). Also available is the smart reply feature, which suggests common responses based on the context of the previous message; this one unfortunately I couldn’t test it simply because I still don’t know any real person using Allo.

The perspective that these stickers I keep updating myself with time and the constant metamorphosis of our current vocabulary.
