    I honestly don’t get how this is useful. Lists are pretty specific to what I need, so getting random standard suggestions to prefill them with, isn’t really helpful.

    I just tested by having it make a grocery list, and its just very general food items. Meat, grains, vegetables. That’s it. And how should it know what I want to buy specifically? If I need to tell it, make me a grocery list with bell pepper and tomatoes in it, I can write that down myself anyway.

    There is also no speech input, unless I missed it.

      Agreed, I don’t see the point of this tbh.

      Slightly off topic, but there was a time when Keep did exactly what I wanted wrt making lists. I could say Ok Google, make a list and then walk round my kitchen naming items to add to the list it worked great.

      Then they changed it so that instead of going into Keep, it went into Shopping List, which was ok if it was for groceries, but no use if I was making a list of, say, things to pack for a trip.

      I could see the Gemini integration being useful there, but ideally only at the end, when I had already made my list and it could say, “Hey, you forgot x, y or z…”
