With smartphones becoming more and more indispensable in our lives, as we showed you with this article, and an ever-increasing number of applications available, you really have to be original to hope to see your App stand out from the crowd. For this, features that really change our habits can be of great help. Here are three, taken from applications that caught our attention.
Search by photo
This function that we are starting to see on more applications is proving to be very practical on a daily basis. Widely democratized by the Zalando App that you can find in particular on the Google Play Store, photo recognition aims to change your search habits by allowing you to photograph clothes and then find similar items in the App's store. We are thus starting to find this principle, which draws its strength from machine learning, in other applications for various purposes, with for example Plantnet, an application that recognizes a plant thanks to a photo of it, or Aipoly, an application intended for the visually impaired that allows you to identify objects by photographing them.
Artificial intelligence for improved communication
Who says you can't reinvent a simple instant messaging app? That's exactly what Google has done with Allo, an application available on iOS and Android. An innovative feature that should catch your attention: we find automatic responses that take advantage of artificial intelligence. The application thus offers you quick responses based on the message received, and refines its suggestions as you use it for ever more suitable responses. You therefore have everything to gain by integrating artificial intelligence into the very heart of your applications to offer innovative features.
Overcoming the language barrier with direct translation
Considered something straight out of a science fiction movie just a few years ago, live translation is now a reality with Microsoft. Implemented in the brand's applications, Skype and Translator, you can now get a real-time translation of what someone you're video chatting with is saying. This revolutionary feature is also powered by artificial intelligence and can translate no fewer than 60 languages. While it may be difficult to get the resources to do it yourself at the moment, it's still a great promise for what's to come in the future.
