Nice, did you have a chance to try the "assistant" mode of Any.do?

The "assistant" has made an appearance on really strange tasks that were in my Someday bucket. Like trying to help me by a brassiere, which is something I'd like to take care of myself.

I don't understand how to tap into the assistant from the phone app. If the assistant is evaluating my list without my request, the assistant can't make heads or tails of my tasks and so does not make an appearance.

All in all, not really all that helpful.
