The Wall Street Journal writes that Google at the new chat app users alike may want to allow to send messages to friends as asking questions that answer chatbots. The chatbots roam the web and other sources off in order to give the right answer. It is possible that Google will allow independent developers to develop for the chat service.

For Google, the new service also strategically important because messenger services and chatbots pose a threat to Google's role as a major discovery machine on the Internet.
