The basic idea here is that rather than adding an item into the to do list with text you add an item by taking a photo. I see this being quite useful in the home example. For example, I could take a photo of my full laundry basket and then that would add an item to my to do list to do laundry. And then later I could snap a photo of my washing machine and that would make the next step to be to first wait 45 minutes for the washing machine to run and then create a task to move the laundry to the dryer.
I believe that data entry is a big inhibitor to using a to do list for normal routine things and this is even more true when you are using a phone so this feature would be about making this more convenient. I also see this as being very important when the scenario of rewards is put into place which does really encourage you to log routine tasks that you do.
I also see this as being useful when cooking for example you could take a photo of food you are cooking on the stove and the to do list could then set a timer for how common you need to wait until that item is really to turn or otherwise be serviced and this could be learned leveraging AI. Of course, in this cooking scenario the next step would have an urgency that is more urgent than a meeting.
In the work scenario I see this as being useful to capture a whiteboard. Which would then look into capturing this as notes and leverage AI to read it and see if there are next steps.
I wonder if there is value in having every photo taken or added to your photo library as a captured to do item that needs to be processed. I don't know the answer to that but sometimes when you take photos you do want to process them later and take action and clean them up and such. And it can help you remember an event and summarize it for the record your effort and recall what you did scenario.
