Is that a problem for you? If so, I'd like to know why.

Perhaps they're questioning the perpetuation of the "women-are-personal-assistants" stereotype? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ah, yeah I could see that being the case. I was just curious.

What is the difference between writing that list directly in Notes app? Do I really need a bot to create a list from my list? Curious to see if there's any use case behind just formatting a list into a list.

This could have more utility for a user with a feature phone. Their notes app is likely more difficult to access, its data not backed up to the "cloud" or just not be a feature at all on the phone.

Try it for your grocery shopping list. That use case is what gave me the idea to build it. So handy to just shoot a text instead of opening an app and navigating to the right list.

Up front, cool app. I really like this idea as a means of quick storage. Not sure about the grocery list use case. You have already input your items and they are still visible in your message conversation with Nina, making the response back from Nina redundant in nature. I tend to email myself article URLs from my phone to my laptop, so I think I will try using Nina for that.

Very Cool. I really like that use case. Works really with with iMessage

A way to name/share a list (so two people can push to it) would also be cool. I know myself and my s/o would use it to make a shared grocery list.

I was thinking the same thing. It would be great if it was Siri-compatible. Can you handle multiple delineators? Is "Eggs, bacon, milk" handled the same as "Eggs bacon and milk"?

I just pushed an update to handle that case. It will not delineate commas and new lines as separate items.
