I think the issue is that Keep isn’t the default. If you use Assistant and create a shopping list, I assume that right now it will default to Tasks, and we all know that there’s significant inertia that comes with default settings.
To change it to Keep, firstly you need to know that it’s even an option to change it, then you need to figure out how because it’s non-obvious.
Talking to Assistant (via Nest for me) to add items to your shopping list in Keep works amazingly well. If you geotag lists, you can have your shopping list pop up automatically when you get to the store. It’s the future! (and it’s been here for years if you knew how). It’s crazy how few people know to do this.
That depends. When Google Assistant was Google Now it had a shopping list that was separated from Keep. Then there was a lot of confusion about which app to use when Assistant came out and replaced Google Now. So Google went ahead and made it so you could choose between the shopping List or Google Now. Then they sunsetted the shopping list app I believe (might be wrong there). Then they made it so you could choose between Keep and Tasks. If you were like me and made Keep the default you probably still have Keep as the default.
One of the lesser-known gems of Windows Phone was Contact-based reminders. You could tie reminders to people and be reminded whenever you interact with them. I used it regularly. Has this been copied anywhere else??
The specifics of their keyboard implementation were also really great. And that UI! The well-designed apps which followed their design language were so goddamn clean.
WP had many unique ideas but was always on the outside looking in.

i was doing this stuff on windows phone with the good version of Cortana (before they shoehorned it into windows pc and completely ruined it)
