Based on what they've shared so far... Allo: What iMessage should be Duo: What FaceTime should be
It's a little surprising to see Google announce these as separate apps but it'll likely make more sense once we can start playing with them later this Summer (in hindsight, it's clear why Facebook split out Messenger). See more

@vm4canvasflip @rrhoover not what it "should have been." what it should be, for Android. iMessage pushed the boundaries of the day back then. Apple should be thinking and working on some big updates to messaging and video/voice for iOS 10. if not, it's a huge missed opportunity.

@rrhoover What's the thinking to offer: Allo + Duo, Hangouts, Youtube In-App Messaging, & Spaces? I guess Google wants to give you enough options so you're not tied to one, but how do you know what your friends will actually use lol?

@nyactor I see it beneficial to have a private video with anyone. iOS users can easily video chat like face time with Android. I've missed so many moments having an iOS extended family..

@rrhoover It will kill messenger and FaceTime in my opinion.

@rrhoover the machine learning sounds really cool! In the long run, I wonder if our thoughts will be driven by machine for these quick response?

@moxon @vm4canvasflip @rrhoover I think we'll see some new features at WWDC this year. I mean, we have to, right?
