It wasn’t that long ago when iOS users were treated to a little app called Distiller. Its sole purpose of being is to recommend you whiskey for any occasion. If you’re an Android user and find yourself stumped when faced with a whiskey that doesn’t start with the word “Jack,” you may now rejoice, because Distiller is here.

You can either have the app give you a recommendation or, if you already have the name of the whiskey in mind, you can search for it. If you decide to let the app make the decision for you, it will present you with a series of questions. After answering these questions, Distiller then presents you with whiskey recommendations based on how you answered the questions. While you can do so without making an account, signing in would theoretically improve your recommendations and allow you to rate bottles of whiskey.

There are also customer reviews for those who wish for some human input, and you can also purchase or rate whiskies from the app itself. If you fancy yourself a whiskey historian, it also includes background information about the drink, which includes the whole whiskey/whisky debate.

The recommendations Distiller makes are based a proprietary algorithm that takes a whiskey’s price, reputation, and “giftability” into account, as well as thousands of different data points relative to its flavor. The analysis produces what the developer calls the Distiller Flavor Profile, which is compared to other bottles in order to give you the best match.

Grab a glass and download Distiller for free on the Google Play Store.

This company just announced lots of new Android phones, and they look great
Renders of the ZTE Nubia Music.

ZTE has unveiled a bunch of new Nubia smartphones at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2024, which is being held in Barcelona, Spain. These devices are intended to be distributed in Europe, Latin America, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa. Each smartphone is designed to cater to a different type of consumer, including ZTE's first flip smartphone.

Although we may not see these devices in the U.S. any time soon, it is an interesting look at what other companies across the water are doing in the Android landscape — and potentially a sign of what other manufacturers may be up to in the future. Let's dig in.

At Moblie World Congress (MWC ) 2024, Google is bringing a healthy bunch of new features to Android. In line with the AI push all across the industry, some notable AI-driven enhancements are on the table. There are also a handful of core Android features that sound practically amazing.
The first in line is Gemini. The generative AI chatbot recently got a standalone app for Android, and now it’s headed for the Google Messages app. Users can chat with Gemini directly in the messaging app and use its generative capabilities for a host of things, like drafting replies, refining a message, and more.

Another feature that was showcased a while ago is finally ready for prime time. Android Auto is gaining support for message summarization for standalone texts and group chats, and it can also suggest replies. With a single tap, users will also be able to drop a message, start a call, and share an estimated arrival time. The idea is to deploy AI for crucial tasks so that it can minimize distractions while driving.
Lookout, an accessibility-centric feature for users with vision challenges, is also getting meaningful AI love. On Android phones, Lookout will now read AI-generated captions and descriptions for media content. For now, the AI boost to Lookout and Messages is limited to the English language.
