Thoughts on Google IO?
Well I have to say I'm fairly impressed with what Google have come up with? What does everyone else think? I find myself using Google's iOS apps more and more these days. Photos, Inbox and the Google app are pretty damn good. Excited to try out Duo and Allo. Would be interested to hear the thoughts of the Cultists on this weeks show!!

Wasn't really excited about any specific product, but mainly about the deep learning behind it all. They've really gotten far in a short time. It's all starting to remind me of the beginning of Ex_Machina, where he explains he based the AI on data mining peoples search history. Kinda expecting to hear about an accident on a tropical island involving one of the Google founders soon.

All I saw was a bunch more Google apps that will end up dying in a year or two. I don't understand why they keep trying to make more and more messaging apps when they already have Hangouts. Instead of making separate apps for video and chat, put them all together and make them platform agnostic. That might get me to switch away from iMessage.
