So, Wellow is apparently in public beta. Link: www.weightwatchers.com/us/Wellow It’s like Siri or Alexa for WW. Currently,the module works with Alexa and Google Assistant. I haven’t added it to Amazon’s services yet, but I did add “her” to Google. I had to search actions for her then add my WW account. So far the only info provided is for food not activity. She really needs help in the voice recognition department. I do like that it can track by speaking which is convenient sometimes.

Okay gee that only took an hour to figure out 🤣 girly you were right about that voice recognition. This will be really cool though once they work through the kinks.

*totally cracking up here* so I thought I would update on how entering a simple “2 ounces of 1% milk” went.
First off it had unlinked the account and I tried to remember where the “actions” were on the app, no luck so I had to Google for the directory link.
Once I got it relinked there was about 10 tries before I gave up and the closest I got was “Okay Deb would you like me to add 1 cup of low-fat milk today to Breakfast?”
The funniest had to be some rambling rice dish that went on and on. The only 1% thing she seemed to know about was a chai tea latte because that is what she kept trying to add.
But, trying to exit had me rolling. Goodbye, Exit, Done Wellow, nothing worked, it just kept repeating how many SPs I had left for the day. Needless to say Eric and I got really creative in trying to shut her up. 🤣

Mike, I couldn’t find the Alexa skill either.
I will be positive and hope they work out these bugs before the launch. I had to unlink my account because I couldn’t track anymore on the site or in the app. *sigh* WW tech strikes again.

I think it’s interesting that they do their app rollouts on the Apple iOS first, but this Willow thing is going out for a different platform.

debsback, I know right?!? I couldn’t believe it came to android first, definitely a WW first.

So you're expecting WW to release ??what?? for the iOS platform? Or do you mean that you expect them to relase Siri support for tracking—'cuz that's probably not going to happen. I am also reminded that I use Apple's built-in dictation to make tracking easier, especially on the iPhone. Touch the search box, touch the microphone icon on the keyboard, dictate what I'm looking for, select it, track it. Very fast...probably moreso than playing with Alexa.

I downloaded google assistant, yikes the terms and agreements... I backed out.
How do you guys feel about agreeing to all of that?

Are the terms and agreements something to the effect of you agree to hand over your first born, to let us know where you are and what you're doing at all times and you agree to never have any expectation of privacy pretty much ever again in your lifetime?
