Link: Natural Language Inputs

Jim Neilsen asks:

what if every input was a text input that accepts natural language?

As I read this it occurred to me that I gravitate toward applications that support natural language input.

I pay an exorbitant subscription fee for Fantastical because of the natural language input.

My go-to reminders app, Due has natural language input.

I recently ditched my much-loved task manager Things for Todoist, because of their natural language input!

Now I'm so used to having a text input that understands what I want, I have very little patience for fiddling with complicated input UI.
