A simple way to add this feature would be to support an email-to-buymeapie interface. Each user would be assigned a unique email address - e.g. qwertyuiop@inbox.buymeapie.com - and any emails received by this address would cause the subject line to be added to the primary list, or a list called "Inbox", or whatever. For extra brownie points the body could indicate which list to use, quantities etc.
I'd then add a contact to my phone's contact list called "buy me a pie" and with this email address.
Then I could: "Ok Google, send an email to buy me a pie with subject half a cow".
Google Assistant, or presumably, Siri, would then dutifully send an email, and "half a cow" would duly appear on my list. FWIW, this is the process I follow to send tasks to my Nirvana GTD account - works like a charm.
Hope somebody is still reading this forum!
Great service, but adding this single feature would fix my single biggest gripe.
