For those who want to limit the hours they spend on social networks each day, the company is creating software that will automatically prepare responses to the messages they receive.

Google has a solution in the works for those who find it increasingly difficult and time-consuming to maintain their daily presence on social networks. More specifically, the internet giant is developing software that will play the role of a "virtual doppelganger" on social media, automatically preparing responses to incoming messages.
The company has already filed a patent application for the idea, stating that the goal is for the software to react to social media platforms just like a real user. For this reason, the software will initially "monitor" the user's behavior on social media in order to "learn" it.
This way, it will then be able to copy the way the user interacts with their friends, reacting identically to their contacts' updates and messages. In all cases, the software will prepare the reaction it deems appropriate, which the real account holder will be able to accept or reject with a "click".
In fact, the software will "understand" the nature of the messages, so that when they come, for example, from the user's professional circle, the response it will prepare will be standard. In the case of messages of a much more personal nature, it will ask the account holder if he wants to take charge of the response himself, without intervening at all.
The patent application is signed by Ashish Bhatia, a Google engineer, who says that this solution is necessary since social networks have become so popular in recent years. This is because the average person has now created a fairly large social network, which is now difficult to manage on a daily basis without help.
