Tell GAIA what to remember and when, in plain language. It schedules the reminder, confirms the time, and notifies you when the moment comes, in-app, and as a push notification on mobile. Reminders work everywhere you talk to GAIA: web, mobile, desktop, and your connected bots (Discord, Slack, Telegram).

​
What to say

One-off or recurring, phrased however feels natural:
  • “remind me to call the dentist in 30 minutes”
  • “remind me to submit the quarterly report tomorrow at 9 AM”
  • “every Monday at 9 AM, remind me to review my weekly goals”
GAIA replies with a confirmation showing the reminder text and scheduled time. You’re done.

​
One-time reminders

These fire once, then they’re done. Use them for deadlines, appointments, or anything with a single due date.
Relative times like “in 10 minutes” or “in 3 hours” are the fastest way to set a quick reminder. GAIA works out the exact time for you.

​
Recurring reminders

These repeat on a schedule until you cancel them or set a limit. Use them for habits, weekly check-ins, or anything regular. To set a limit, say when to stop:
Recurring reminders automatically expire after 6 months unless you set an end date. You can extend or cancel them at any time.

​
Managing your reminders

Everything happens in chat, list, update, pause, resume, and cancel. Also works: “show me my upcoming reminders”, “change my daily medication reminder to 9 PM”, “cancel my Monday goals reminder”. Pausing keeps the reminder around without firing it, handy for vacations.
Cancelled reminders cannot be restored. If you might want it back later, pause it instead.

​
Timezones

GAIA uses your local timezone by default, “at 3 PM” means 3 PM your time. To use a different timezone, say so:

​
Reminders vs. workflows

Reminders and workflows do different things: Use a reminder when you need a nudge. Use a workflow when you want GAIA to act on your behalf, like sending a summary email or pulling data from a connected service.
They work well together: set a reminder to review something, and a workflow to prepare the information before you sit down.

​
Tips for better reminders

  • Be specific. “Remind me to email Sarah about the contract renewal” beats “Remind me about Sarah.”
  • Use relative times for quick reminders. “In 15 minutes” is faster than working out the exact time.
  • Set recurring reminders for habits. Consistency is easier when you don’t have to remember to remember.
  • Review periodically. Ask GAIA to list your active reminders and clear out the ones you no longer need.
