[Snapchat's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snap-lens-studio) filters are one of the biggest reasons for the social media platform's early success, and the Panda app is a new chat and communication platform that's rethinking how those filters should function within users' conversations. The app uses a combination of [facial recognition and voice recognition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/emochat) to automatically introduce filters based on what users are talking about, making the fun social feature more organic than it is on other platforms.

At its core, the Panda app is a video chat tool. However, those chats are constantly being augmented by filters. If a user talks about how much they love something, for example, the app's artificial intelligence will recognize that and automatically superimpose a cartoonish beating heart over that user's chest.
