Here are 6 free Google Allo desktop clients for Windows. They can be used to easily access Google Allo for messaging from your PC. You can open these software, connect your account, and start chatting with your contacts. They actually offer almost all the features which you normally get on the web version of Google Allo. That means apart from sending & receiving messages, you can also share files (like images, videos, documents, etc.), send stickers, emoticons, GIFs, and more. In addition to that, you can use Google Assistant for automated tasks, playing games, asking questions, etc. Do note that even though you can use the Google Assistant via these Google Allo desktop clients, you won’t be able to perform system-level tasks using it.

Google Allo does have a Web version, which you can open and use on PC browsers, but no official desktop client is available yet. So, if you’re looking for one, then using any of these software is the best option. They do lack some of the features, which you get on the official mobile app of Google Allo, like video calls, voice messages, etc.
