Hey Hunters, A huge thank you @_jacksmith for the hunt! Today we are unveiling “Magic Chat”, the 1st SMS app that makes your life easier by predicting what you want to do next, so you don't have to search. 👉 Magic Chat detects intents in SMS messages, and shows you possible action in "Magic Cards" for searching/booking a restaurant, going to an event, finding a professional, buying something, finding directions with Uber, Waze, Google Maps, or flight tickets, etc. 👉 Magic Chat is completely free and respects your privacy as we don’t store any of your data. Instead of ads, we believe in the value of the service we can provide to you through the Magic Cards contextual and personalized predictions. 👉 The app also includes fast reply and emoji prediction based on the emotion of any message. Magic Chat also comes with great sharing features for pictures, videos, audio messages, location, and you can even share the Magic Cards. For once Android users will be served first, and our plan is to incorporate RCS (Android Chat) specifications in the near future. Apple lovers, we don't forget you so we're also looking at WebRTC. Our AI is available in English and we're launching the app in the US for now. And for developers, if you're interested in using our technology we're also working on a SDK. So feel free to reach out to me if you'd like to give it a try when it's available. Please share your feedback and thoughts, this is V1 and there's still plenty to do! Cheers, Eric

Hey @aaronoleary, glad you like it! For now it's not possible for developers to access text messages on iOS, so unfortunately that won't be possible. Things may change with RCS though, if Apple decides to embrace the new standard expected to replace SMS in the coming years.

How does it compare to Google Allo?

@jennifer_long Great question. First of all the development of Google Allo was paused because Google is now focusing on Messages, their SMS/MMS app which is also the first messaging app to support the new RCS format. With the Google Assistant embedding, Allo had something similar to Magic Chat but the user experience is quite different. Google usually tries to replicate the model of search, which has shown quite lucrative for them over the years because of ads, while we're making something different with predictive AI to remove frictions and with a focus on providing a service without ads.
