people don’t know what they want, and when they do know they can’t explain it.

* Based on our music discussions, make a playlist for me in Spotify. No songs older than 15 years.

* Look through my email, find all my receipts, show me a graph of my spend and categorize them.

* My business needs warehouse space. Find warehouse services within 15 miles of San Francisco. Ask them for their pricing and capacity. Here are pics of my items. Send these pics to them for quote.

* Find a hotel for me in Los Angeles on October 1st to Oct 5th. 4 starts. Max $200/night. Gym is a must. Don't care about pool. Close to airport. I have Platinum membership with Accor so try to find Accor hotels but not a must.

It is easy to express yes, but is this how people think about what they want to listen to?

Someone can already do this in a chat bot, see the list of things and then find it on Spotify or whatever their favorite music service is.

What the chat bot won't know is what they have listened to, which is probably a much higher predictor of what you'd like than the discussions you've had about music. You've probably had those discussions because you are already listening to that music!

You just explained what you want far more clearly than most people do.

Only the fourth of those is not more easily accomplished using existing tools; the things you're describing as explainable are such because they've already been achieved.

All of your examples seem to require using another company's app.

I thought the parent's point is that the App Store will loose dominance (because you won't need apps).
