Chatbot Android Apps 

3. Replika

By far the most interesting app on this list, Replika is a chatbot which evolves into a reflection of yourself.

4. Wysa

“Wysa is…your 4 am friend…your AI life coach…your reflective space” – Wysa.io

Wysa is an intuitive chatbot app that seeks to improve the user’s mental health and emotional resilience. While that may sound ambitious, it’s important to note Wysa is not designed to treat or cure any mental health conditions or medical emergencies. The app is merely a tool for users to organize their thoughts and reflect on their own emotions and impulses. By simply talking to Wysa through text or answering multiple choice questions, the app tracks your daily mood and the things in your life that affected your mood each week. 

The app can also be used as a daily planner and will message you to help you stay on track throughout the day. As well, there are numerous options within the app to practice mindfulness, meditation, and controlling your anger or frustration. You can ask Wysa questions or talk about problems you’re having.

AI- Powered Android Games

5. AI PokerAlfie

A great tool for poker enthusiasts, AI PokerAlfie was built using a unique algorithm and only requires a short learning phase. The app pits you in a 6-handed poker match against AI opponents. The playing style of the AI can be adjusted from tight, aggressive, and optimal play. You can also adjust the speed of the bots, but they tend to perform better at regular speed which gives them longer time to think. One downside to the app is that the bots do take quite a long time to think depending on how many people are in the hand.

While it is not clear whether the AI has a strong ability to detect bluffs, the app is still a fun game to kill time or to practice your poker skills against a decent AI. The program was tested by professional poker player Srdjan Pavlovic Nislija, and supposedly played better than him over 5000 hands.

AI Poker Alfie is available on Android.

6. Happy Draw

A fun little AI-powered drawing game which can be played with friends or alone with the AI computer. In this app, you draw pictures and other players must guess what it is within the time limit. If you play alone, the AI will guess what you draw with incredible speed and accuracy. HappyDraw is a fun little app to help pass the time in waiting rooms or during your commute. However, while the app is free, there are a multitude of advertisements that play between drawing sessions and when navigating through the app. Often these are video ads that run for 30 seconds and can’t be closed. 

Happy Draw is available on Android.

By taking pictures of food or drinks in or out of their packages, the app can guess what the food or drink is and tell you how many calories are in it within a matter of seconds. 

Most of the time, the app works better when taking pictures of food without packages or wrappers. After removing erroneous food labels, and choosing the amount of each food, the app will log the photo, foods, and the amount of calories in your diet diary for each day. The basic version of the app is free, but the premium version is decently affordable at $5.99 USD per year.

Rock Paper Scissors Vs. AI

Test your rock, paper, scissors skills against an AI that gets better the more you play. The app works by using the mobile device’s camera to detect hand gestures. It should be noted that the ability to detect hand gestures can be hampered by backgrounds of similar color to the player’s hand. It is best to play the game with a white background or plain background in view. As well, your hand must be positioned far away enough from the camera so that your entire hand is in view when forming paper or scissors. 

This was listed only as an honorable mention because the technology isn’t quite there yet. The app often guessed the wrong hand sign throughout our testing process. However, this a very fun concept for a game that uses machine learning techniques. 

Rock Paper Scissors Vs. AI is available on Android.
