koantify | 8 years ago | on: The limits of checklists: paradigmatic versus narrative thinking

We've released an app in this aea, Koantify Checklists[0]. It's a voice responsive app (i.e., Siri-like) for creating, maintaining, using, and sharing checklists. You create and maintain checklists within this app (or you can use our web-based editor).

When you perform your task, the app steps you through it by voice or text, and responds to your voice commands (it tries to provide optional "hands-free" operation as much as possible). When you complete your checklist, the app optionally emails you (or a list of people) a detailed record of completion of the checklist, showing steps you completed, skipped, or possibly had to repeat.

For organizations, it's easy to export/import checklists. You can distribute by email, via iCloud, or you can download checklists from web links. Our goal is to provide easy sharing of important checklists for tasks you want to standardize on. For training in your organization, use of a checklist provides important reminders on how things should be done.

Feedback, comments, suggestions are all most welcome.

There are quite a few comments here on the use of checklists. Dr. Atul Gawande wrote at length about their usefulness in "The Checklist Manifesto".

We've released an iPhone app, Koantify Checklists:

It's a voice responsive app (i.e., Siri-like) for creating, maintaining, using, and sharing checklists.

(Based on the post we're commenting on, I guess our next step would be to recognize gestures like pointing...)
