What am I missing? Can we not already do this more easily with Google now or Siri
Hunter
Personally, I never use Siri because I don't like talking to my phone. I'm also almost always on Messenger, so I'm sure to get these reminders.
Good work! Is it possible to add weekly reminders and if not, will you add it in the future?
Hunter
Thanks Angie! Recurring reminders are definitely on our roadmap. It's kind of tricky to figure out though, since we don't want to potentially spam the user so we also need a way for the user to turn them off, for example. If you want, I'll let you know when the feature is launched (hopefully by tomorrow)!
Always wanted something like this. Since these days we spend more time on social networks it better to have a reminders there :)
Reminders is my primary use case for Siri. "Siri, remind me to get the laundry in 35 minutes."

reminders and alarms, "siri, wake me up at 7", "siri, don't disturb me" nightly rituals.
The name inspired by Tony Stark's original VA, that's awesome, however, it increased my expectations from your version of Jarvis. I'll give it a try, nice work, though!
Great !!
I love the idea! I tested it but got this message... Hi David, thanks for your message. We are not here right now, but we'll get back to you soon!

Sorry, Jarvis was down because of an encoding issue, but it's back up now!
ah ok cool yes I sent it a request, it would be good if it asked for the location question first before it prompted me for a reminder, after I specified Amsterdam, Netherlands it didn't get any feedback as to if it accepted it or did I not give it the required information... some feedback from the bot would be useful. Also I asked for a reminder to be set for 2 hours time... but that was 4 hours ago so ummm I guess that didn't work as planned.
after I prompted it again... Hello it did ask what city and said thanks but I'm not sure if it accepted Amsterdam, NY or Amsterdam, Holland
Caught a weird edge case... using the word "hours" in a reminder omits that word. Even just trying to say "remind me to enter hours tomorrow at 1pm" it just says "okay I'll remind you to enter at 1pm tomorrow"
Hunter
Yeah, that's a pretty bad and tricky bug. We're working on fixing it now!
Thank you! I like when reminders get in my face and don't like talking to my phone either! :)
Great! How can you identify which user sent a reminder? With the facebook messenger user id?
Hunter
Thanks! As for your q, Facebook sends us a callback whenever we receive a message with a user id attached to it.
