The original Nimble, in quotes.

"The menubar client is every bit as intuitive as the web interface, meaning, it's easy to use and even if you aren't quite sure what you're asking, there's a good chance [it] will figure it out."

The Next Web

"Nimble can handle pretty much anything you'd normally throw at [it], including simple questions and math problems that require graphs."
