Duckbill

Shocked to see any bad reviews on here cause this apps awesome! I ran out of my Adderall and was too out of it to even make phone calls. Duckbill called my psychiatrist's office, followed up multiple times, then called the pharmacy to confirm stock, pricing, and pickup time - all while I just texted back and forth. They even got me a GoodRx price that saved me over $125. I love that they didn’t count each mini task it took to get the big overarching tasks goal done, like multiple calls back and forth, working out nuances, etc. Honestly I’m going right now to replace another app I was paying for just to find my meds in stock. If you deal with medication shortages or anything that requires a ton of phone calls, this app is a lifesaver.

I’ve been using Duckbill for the last few weeks, and I’m blown away. I’ve thrown the kitchen sink at the copilots, and nearly every task has been handled as well as I could have hoped. Sometimes it’s a little slow, but it’s the holidays, so I get it. Things are definitely ramping up. That said, the app could use some small cleanups. For example, it keeps asking me to save or update my Duckbill password whenever I enter credentials for another service the copilots need to access. Not a big deal, but worth mentioning. What really matters is how well it delivers on its promise to be an assistant that actually gets things done. My confidence in what it can handle, and the privacy and protection it provides, is top-notch. I’ve been telling everyone about it. Anytime I have a to-do, I just “Duck it”…(can’t believe I’m saying this now) instead of putting it on my never-ending list. This app gets stuff done, plain and simple. Love it. A great idea truly personified by excellent execution.

This is great for certain tasks, like finding initial quotes for services and placing online orders and getting promo codes, but it’s definitely not perfect. I’ve found better quotes than Duckbill could find for some services and sometimes more back and forth is required than necessary (I’ve had to repeat the question on a couple of occasions). I’d say it’s still been helpful, though. Simple tasks are more consistently completed correctly (dinner reservations for easy tables, online orders and returns, renewing library books), while more complicated tasks tend to be frustrating (anything involving taste, multiple steps, or local know-how). If you buy a lot of stuff online I’d highly recommend Duckbill.
