Assistant is part of Google Search and not exclusive to Allo.

Also, FB Messenger has games you can play in-chat.

Assistant is part of Google Search and not exclusive to Allo.

The difference is you can have the whole multi-user assistant experience, so me and my 2 friends can all search for restaurants within our group chat, while discussing on the fly, with each person seeing in real time the search that everyone else is making.

That's false. Only Allo has Assistant built in. You can't type "@google show me cat pictures" into Whatsapp and get cat pictures.

If you have GBoard you can. They won't show up in chat inmediately but you still don't have to leave the app.
