A todo app that you can write and modify by editing a natural language prompt, and that can parse inputs from the whole web with flexibility and nuance, is not a small thing.
That also seems to not get timezones right, has a confusing search function...?
More seriously, todo apps are about productivity, not just about becoming a huge bucket of tasks. I've always found that the productivity comes from getting context out of my head and scheduled for the right time. This release appears to be more about that big bag of tasks and less about productivity. I'm all for AI in products, I think it can be powerful, but I've not had a use-case for it in my todo app.
I've got about six apps written by Claude from prompts, all quite simple but useful. If you don't believe it I get it, because I didn't either until I tried it.
As for nuance, I've seen an astounding amount of divergent context incorporated into LLM responses. Not always, but far more than I've ever been able to encode into a parsing script, which is exactly nothing not explicitly programmed.
