Google is said to be developing an AI-powered tool for the Play Store that aims to assist users with questions about apps and help them find new ones. An analysis of the APK by Android Authority revealed that Google Play Store version 43.3.32-31 includes new strings labeled "Ask a Question," which appears to be the name of this upcoming feature.
AI-Generated FAQs
Previously, the publication shared details about AI-created FAQs for the Play Store. This feature automatically generates a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) section on app listings, providing users with essential information about an app.
User Interaction
The report indicates that this feature will likely show up as a button on both app listings and search results. When users click the button, they can type in their questions, and the AI will respond with answers. In theory, this could enhance the process of discovering new apps. However, Google has not made any official announcement regarding this feature, and it is not currently available on the Play Store. It's also important to mention that not every feature found in the code makes it into the final version.
