This has huge promise and I'm eager to try it more myself. I think it would make an awesome Slack bot. But the the now button is enlightening.[1] > Do away with the complex UIs of IFTTT or Zapier The interfaces on those sites can be complicated because the services they interact with can be complicated. This was my demo experience with Almond: > me: post a tweet about cats > Almond: What caption do you want? [list of boxes of choices] The choices are: - Use the image id from Thecatapi - Use URL from Thecatapi - Use description - Use the link from Thecatapi - None of the above To me that is a "complicated UI". If I'm non-technical I have no idea what a URL is. Even as a technical person I don't know how "link" and "url" are different. I have no idea what "Thecatapi" is, why it was chosen to fulfill my request, or what it will tweet about. I can see how this may be useful for tech people but this strikes me as more of a super high level programming language than an actual assistant.
