I'm tired of: open phone → find app → navigate inside app → type

I'm tired of: open phone → find app → navigate inside app → type

Every time I interact with my phone it's full of friction: you think about something (a recipe / texting a friend / calling my grandma / ...) but to execute I have to pass through so many steps.. Not to talk about creating profiles and so on.

So I thought to build a widget "3PO" as a minimum viable product and look for your blunt feedback. Immagine a single search bar that routes requests to:

  • “message Carl I am late” → opens default messaging app with that text pre‑filled
  • “meteo tomorrow” → opens web-search
  • “cab to newyork” → opens the default app for it

To reduce swiping through home screens, hunting for the right app, and tapping the UI function....

Hi guys, I am building a widget that solves this and I am seeking your BLUNT opinion of experts for it.

I'm tired of: open phone → find app → navigate inside app → type

I want to type directly and then my phone understands what I want to do:

  • Type “message Carl I am late” → opens my messenger with that text pre‑filled
  • Type “puppy photos” → opens Chrome with that search
  • Type “call Anita” → opens the phone dialer with her number

No swiping through home screens. No hunting for the right app. No tapping into the right function....

I'm building a widget called "3PO" that does exactly this: a single text box that routes your intent to the right place.

Would you use it? Yes / No + one sentence why.
