And when you need to make a quick call or get directions Robin can do that too.

Hands-free features including:
* Personalized playlist including traffic, weather and local news reports. Just say “play my personal playlist”
* Topical playlists - Ask for news on any of these popular categories: Sports, Entertainment, News, World News, Health, Science, Business or Tech
* Send a text by voice, set reminders & alarms
* Get directions, locate parking lots and gas stations around you.

Notes
----------------------------
• Robin is currently in Beta - she’s still a student. That means you can watch her intelligence evolve daily and even get to contribute a little. Come be a part of the experience!

* Permissions:
Robin will never email your contacts without your knowledge!
To set reminders she’ll need permission to access your calendar, and to Gmail for email narration - that’s all!

• Having trouble with a particular location? Missing a point of interest? Any other issue?
For best results, give your feedback to Robin from right within the app - just say ‘feedback’.
