Google is prepping a mobile messaging app that is assisted by artificial intelligence, reports the Wall Street Journal. The service will integrate chatbots with a message application that will allow people to converse with friends or bots.

The unnamed service does not have a projected launch date, but aims to compete with offerings from Facebook and others. Google declined to comment on the Journal's story.
