What's your favorite Google Allo feature?

Google Allo has received both love and hate. The chat app and "Google Assistant" bakes many interactive features into one experience, making it difficult to understand how each person might best enjoy the app. So we're asking YOU!

What are your favorite features of Allo? What phrases get the most helpful, funny, useful, or entertaining responses from Allo?

I like the auto-reply suggestions. Lots of times I don't need to respond to friends because they suggest exactly what I was going to say so I just tap the phrase and it replies for me!

That and replies in notifications.

I've been looking for awesome Easter eggs but haven't found anything mind blowing yet. Just little things like which Pokemon Google likes most.

I like the overall speed, particularly coming from laggy Hangouts. The auto-responses are also quite useful - doubly so as notification actions. Assistant has promise, but I don't think it's quite where it needs to be in order to drive a adoption.

All in, I really do like Allo... But until I can use it on multiple devices and via the web, it can't really be more than a novelty for me.
