I've been using Fin now for over a year, and it has been a huge time saver. From booking airline tickets for my wife, me, and my cat, to finding hard to get camping reservations, Fin is there to help at every turn.
Pros:Very natural interface. Understands context and my preferences for each task.
Cons:Price can be expensive at times
Fin is fantastic for tasks I neglect because of their tedium or open-ended difficulty.
Personally, Fin's greatest value comes from scheduling appointments with my dentist, doctor, PT, etc!
Pros:Ability to execute open-ended requests, personable communications
Cons:Requires google authorization (gmail, gcal, etc)
When I'm too busy to reasonably handle everything on my todo list I love that I can buy back my time by outsourcing things to Fin. I often think about how much my free time, or the ability to do a certain activity is worth in real dollars, and Fin is essentially the exchange interface that allows me to trade money for time while still getting everything done.
Pros:100% on demand. Continually improving speed and quality of work.
Cons:Expensive, but quality assistance isn't cheap.

Pros:Saves me time on research and keeping track of annoying errands.

Fin can take care of anything that I need. Making calls, responding to emails, remembering things for me, and handling recurring tasks that I have to do every month.
Pros:I can delegate anything to Fin
Cons:Some tasks require multiple back-and-forths
Fin has saved me a ton of time and effort with scheduling things like doctor's appointments while I'm busy during the work day. It has also been an extremely helpful service for a few research projects, as well as for vacation planning. It's something I can use on a professional and personal level.
Pros:Great for research projects and scheduling! I also love using Fin to send me reminders!
Cons:Does not have an Android app
I use Fin to help with tough research tasks and simple reminders. It really saves me time and stress of hard to find services or products.
Pros:remembers, preferences, research, 24/7
Cons:no android application
I have used Fin to do research, book travel, call and stay on hold for me.
Pros:Reliable 24/7, on-demand assistant. Great for research, scheduling, anything I don't want to do myself
Cons:No android app
The process is going through growing pains but you can't expect much since preferences are limited. Fin will get better over time.
Pros:24.7 Support, Remembers Preferences, Superb Research Skills
Cons:Fin has to get to know you based on your requests as opposed to asking upfront your preferences.
