Slowly I started to use the Google Now Assistant to add items to a Google Keep list of items that I could make simply by saying ‘Ok Google, add widget to list parts’ and it would add a line in the list named ‘Parts’ where I could view, organize, and share it in Google Keep. To my surprise items sent to a list now appear in the Google Shopping list app… I mean site which is related to something called Google Express which I’ve also never heard of. I echo the sentiments of Ron Amadeo in his ARS Technica write-up about the situation.
I’ll be searching for an alternative solution but it appears Google Assistant is a closed solution. Maybe Cortana + Wunderlist is a viable solution.
