Artificial intelligence (AI) is young, but it’s no longer a concept that belongs in the realm of science-fiction. 

It is starting to make its presence felt in our daily lives at a rapid pace—from chatbots that sell you insurance or investment products to voice-activated virtual assistants that help you manage the devices in your smart home. 

There are also many great apps for your Android smartphone that use smart algorithms, machine learning and AI technologies. Ranging from some that are just for fun to others that will help you improve your health or boost your productivity and efficiency, here is a selection of Alcatel’s favourite smartphone apps that include chatbot or AI features and technology:
