गूगल एलो, असिस्टेन्ट और स्मार्ट रिप्लाई अब हिंदी में

आपको चाहे क्रिकेट मैच पर कमेन्ट्स करने हों या अपने दोस्तों के साथ आने वाले सप्ताहान्त की योजना बनानी हो, मैसेजिंग ऐप आज हम सब के जीवन का महत्वपूर्ण हिस्सा बन चुके हैं। लेकिन अक्सर हम कई विंडोज़ में फंसे रहते हैं, अपनी डिवाइस पर एक विंडो में हम रेस्टोरेन्ट ढूंढ रहें होते हैं। दूसरी विंडो पर क्रिकेट स्कोर देख रहे होते हैं तो तीसरी विंडो पर मौसम के बारे में अपडेट पा रहे होते हैं। इसी साल लान्च किए गए गूगल एलो के साथ हमने एक ऐसा स्मार्ट मैसेजिंग ऐप पेश किया है जिसके द्वारा आप चैट करते हुए चैटिंग विंडो में ही ये सभी काम बड़ी आसानी से कर सकते हैं।
लान्च के बाद पिछले दो महीनों में गूगल एलो को बहुत अच्छा रेस्पॉन्स मिला है। विशेष रूप से भारत में गूगल एलो के उपयोगकर्ताओं की संख्या सबसे ज़्यादा है। आज मुझे यह बताते हुए बेहद खुशी का अनुभव हो रहा है कि गूगल एलो में गूगल असिस्टेन्ट और स्मार्ट रिप्लाई अब नए एवं मौजूदा उपयोगकर्ताओं के लिए हिंदी में भी उपलब्ध है।
हिन्दी में असिस्टेन्ट
गूगल असिस्टेन्ट आपका अपना साथी है और आपकी ज़रूरत के अनुसार हर ज़रूरी जानकारी देता है, आपको अपने काम पूरे करने में, दोस्तों के साथ चैट करने में, गेम्स खेलने में मदद करता है। आप अपनी चैट विंडो में चैट जारी रखते हुए एक साथ ये सभी टास्क कर सकते हैं। तो आप चाहे अपना पसंदीदा शाहरुख की फिल्म का  गाना सुनना चाहते हैं या अपने पसंदीदा गेम पर टाईम पास करना चाहते हैं] गूगल असिस्टेन्ट आपका सच्चा साथी है। एलो में अपने असिस्टेन्ट के साथ चैट करिए या किसी भी ग्रुप चैट में अपने असिस्टेन्ट को लाने के लिए , @google टाईप करिए। इस लान्च के साथ एलो में गूगल असिस्टेन्ट अब से हिन्दी भाषा को समझेगा और इस भाषा में रेस्पॉन्ड भी करेगा। हिन्दी भाषा में असिस्टेन्ट का इस्तेमाल करने के लिए कहें ''टाक टू मी इन हिन्दी'' या अपनी डिवाइस की लैंगवेज सेटिंग में जाकर हिंदी भाषा सैट करें।

हिन्दी स्मार्ट रिप्लाई
एलो का एक और फीचर है स्मार्ट रिप्लाई जिसके द्वारा उपयोगकर्ता आसानी से तुरन्त रिस्पान्ड कर सकते हैं। वास्वत में, हर दिन आधे से ज़्यादा लोग एलो पर स्मार्ट रिप्लाई का इस्तेमाल करते हैं।
मशीन लर्निंग द्वारा पावर्ड एलो टेक्स्ट की भाषा तो समझता ही है साथ ही दोस्तों और परिवारजनों द्वारा भेजे गए इमेज़ेस के लिए रिस्पान्स करने में भी मदद करता है और यह सब हिन्दी भाषा में!
स्मार्ट रिप्लाई उस भाषा को पहचान लेता है जिसमें आप चैट कर रहें हैं और उसी भाषा में रिस्पान्स का सुझाव देने लगता है। तो अब से आप एक टैप के साथ अपनी भाषा में अपने दोस्तों को संदेश ''क्या हाल है'' पर ''सब ठीक है'' रिप्लाई में भजे सकेंगे। अगर आप अंग्रेज़ी में चैट कर रहें हैं तो यह आपको अंग्रेज़ी रिस्पान्स दिखाने लगेगा। लेकिन अगर आप हिंदी में चैट कर रहें हैं तो यह आपको इसी भाषा में सुझाव देगा। आप अपनी डिवाइस सैटिंग में जाकर भी लैंगवेज  सैट कर सकते हैं।  
हम एंड्रोइड और आईओएस पर गूगल एलो के लिए हिंदी में ये नए फीचर लेकर आए हैं और आने वाले कुछ दिनों में सभी उपयोगर्ताओं के लिए उपलब्ध होंगे। हम समय के साथ कई अन्य भाषाओं में भी असिस्टेन्ट और स्मार्ट रिप्लाई पेश करेंगे। फिलहाल अभी ये फीचर अंग्रेज़ी, हिन्दी, हिंग्लिश, जर्मन, ब्राज़ीलियन, पुर्तगाली में उपलब्ध हैं।

Say olá and namaste to your Assistant in Google Allo

When we launched Google Allo earlier this year, we started with a preview of our smart features in English to help you say more and do more, right in your chats. Today, we’re adding support for Brazilian Portuguese and Hindi for the Google Assistant and Smart Reply, bringing these features to even more people.

The Google Assistant is ready to help in new languages

With Google Allo, you can get help from your Assistant without ever leaving the conversation. Sharing sports scores, recipes, or travel plans is now easy to do right in your chats with friends. People are getting help from their Assistant every day — one in every 12 messages in group chats are messages to the Google Assistant.

To start using the Assistant in Brazilian Portuguese and Hindi, just say “Talk to me in Hindi” or “Talk to me in Portuguese” when you’re chatting with your Assistant in Allo. You can also adjust the language setting on your device. So whether you’re chatting with friends about the latest cricket standing for the Mumbai Indians team, or looking into weather forecasts for your trip to the Barra da Tijuca beach, add @google to your chat and your Assistant is ready to help.

Hindi Assistant Allo

Say it rápido with Smart Reply

Hindi new smart reply

We’ve found that Smart Reply in English has been helpful in sending quick responses while you’re chatting on the go — in fact, every day more than half of people on Allo use Smart Reply. We’re now adding support for Smart Reply in Brazilian Portuguese and Hindi, so you can quickly send a “muito bem!” in response to a friend asking “Como você está?”

Smart Reply will recognize the language you’re chatting in and begin to show suggested responses in that language. If you’re chatting in English, it will continue to show English responses. But if you start chatting in Hindi or Brazilian Portuguese, it will show you suggestions in that language. You can also adjust the language through your device settings.

Sticker packs with Brazilian edge

Lastly, we’ve added new local stickers for Brazil in Google Allo. Illustrator Daniel Semanas covers a typical day at the beach with "Mari by the Sea," while Florence Dagostini brings slang words to life with everyday objects in "There, I Said It." Additional stickers focus on Brazilian food, gamer culture, and city life.

Brazil new stickers

We’re beginning to roll out these new features in Hindi and Brazilian Portuguese for Google Allo on Android and iOS, and they will be available to all users in the next few days. We’ll continue to bring the Google Assistant and Smart Reply to more languages over time — for now they’re available in English, Hindi, Hinglish, German and Brazilian Portuguese.

Google Allo – the Google Assistant and Smart Reply now in Hindi!

Whether it’s exchanging comments on the ongoing cricket match or making weekend plans with your friends, messaging apps have become central to our lives. But very often, we have to toggle between many apps and screens to find restaurants, cricket scores, updates on local weather and so on. With Google Allo, which launched globally earlier this year, we created a smart messaging app designed to keep you in the conversation and serve you the information you need right within the chat window.




Over the last two months since we launched, Google Allo has received tremendous feedback, especially in India, which has one of the highest number of Google Allo users. Today, I am very excited to share with you that the Google Assistant and Smart Reply in Google Allo are now available in Hindi -- for new and existing users.




The Google Assistant in Hindi
Allo brings you the Google Assistant, a new way to get information and accomplish tasks, without ever leaving the conversation. So whether you want to share your favorite SRK film or simply want to pass time by with your favourite game, the Google Assistant is always ready to help. With today’s launch, the Google Assistant in Allo will now understand and respond in Hindi. You just need to type @google to bring your Assistant into any group chat. And of course, you can also chat one-one-one with your Assistant in Allo. To start using the Assistant in Hindi,just say “Talk to me in Hindi” or adjust the language setting on your device.

Hindi smart replies
Another unique Allo feature is “Smart Reply”, which makes it easier for you to respond quickly. We’ve found that Smart Reply in English has been helpful in sending quick responses while you’re chatting on the go -- in fact, every day more than half of people on Allo use Smart Reply.




Powered by Machine Learning, Google Allo not just understands text, but can also help with suggested responses to images sent by friends and family -- all in Hindi.

Smart Reply will recognize the language you’re chatting in and begin to show suggested responses in that language. So, now you can respond to your friends’ question “Kya haal hai” with “Sab theek hai” or a with a single tap.  If you’re chatting in English, it will continue to show English responses. But if you start chatting in Hindi, it will show you suggestions in that language. You can also adjust the language through your device settings.




We’re beginning to roll out these new features in Hindi for Google Allo on Android and iOS, and they will be available to all users over the coming few days. We’ll continue to bring the Google Assistant and Smart Reply to more languages over time - for now they’re available in English, Hindi, Hinglish, German, and Brazilian Portuguese.

Google Allo helps you find the perfect emoji or sticker

Whether you’re laughing or crying, hungry for a burger or ramen, or planning a night out or a night in, sometimes it’s just easier to say it with an emoji. Starting today, it’s going to be even simpler to find the perfect emojis and stickers in Google Allo. And for the first time, you’re going to be able to bring the magic of J.K. Rowling’s “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” right to your chats.

Smart Smiley helps you say ?
Sometimes you need a little help finding the right emoji. With so many out there, it’s no wonder that most of the time, we only use a handful (less than 3%!) of all emojis1. That’s why we’ve added a new feature to Google Allo to make it easier to find and send the perfect emoji or sticker. Just tap the Smart Smiley button as you’re typing a message, we’ll suggest relevant emojis and stickers to help you finish your thought. So if you’re planning dinner with a friend, you may see ?, ?, or ?. Or if you type “see you later” we’ll offer to complete that thought with ?.

blog-contentwizard-ios.png

Suggestions for stickers and emojis will change based on the words you write and the sentiment of your message. And if you haven’t started typing, Smart Smiley offers suggestions based on your conversation so the perfect sticker is just one tap away. We’ve already been having fun with Smart Smiley on our team -- in fact, it’s increased the numbers of stickers we share by 30%!

“Fantastic Beasts” stickers
After testing your hand at magic, share your adventures with friends with stickers from the Warner Bros. film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them” now available in Google Allo. We’re bringing the wizarding world directly into your chats with stickers inspired by the film.


We’ve also added a new feature to help you discover new sticker packs. When a friend sends you a sticker from a pack you don’t have yet, you can tap on that sticker to quickly download the pack.

Fresh themes for your chats
To help you match your conversation to your mood, we’ve added background themes for your chats. Whether you’re feeling more “Watermelon” or “Sorbet,” choose from a range of backgrounds to compliment your style.

Google Allo is available for download on Android and iOS. We are beginning to roll out these new features today, and they will be available worldwide over the next few days. Smart Smiley will be available in English to start with and will come to more languages over time.
