Google has been working on making the messaging process better on Android. With the new Android Messages, Google claims that it is trying to create a platform which allows the user to share messages by using AI as well.
To set it up, simply head to messages.android.com and use your Messages app on Android to set it up. The app is currently unsupported on iOS.
