    Can you add items to specific lists using voice?

    Hi, I used to love how you could add items into specific lists using Google Keep. Unfortunately, IMHO Google screwed it up when they added the Google Home app, as far as I can tell. Simply, I'd like to use my Google device, fire up Google Assistant, and say "add milk to my Costco list"...
