Reminder

Schedule one-time or repeating reminders that notify you at the right time.

What It Does

The Reminder app lets you schedule reminders that can either nudge you back to a conversation or trigger your mate to perform a task at a scheduled time.

Available skills:

  • Set Reminder – Create a reminder for a specific time or a random time within a window. Supports one-time and repeating schedules (daily, weekly, monthly, or custom intervals).
  • List Reminders – View your upcoming reminders.
  • Cancel Reminder – Cancel a reminder you no longer need.

Two types of reminders:

  • Simple (notification only) – Your mate just sends you a notification. Use this when you want to be nudged back to something, like “remind me about this chat tomorrow.” No response is generated – you just get a ping.
  • Full (task trigger) – Your mate actually performs a task when the reminder fires. Use this when you want something done automatically, like “search the news every morning and summarise the headlines.”

Reminder targets:

  • New chat – The reminder creates a fresh conversation when it fires.
  • Current chat – The reminder sends a follow-up message in the chat where you set it.

How to Use It

  • Simple reminder: “Remind me about this conversation tomorrow at 3pm”
  • Scheduled task: “Every Monday morning, search for the latest tech news and give me a summary”
  • Random timing: “Remind me sometime this week between 10am and 2pm to take a break”
  • Repeating reminder: “Remind me every day at 9am to check my to-do list”
