Need help to remember tasks that require completing? Alexa can remind you, or other household members when it’s time to get on with life admin.
Reminders – we can all benefit from them for daily chores. Whether it’s to pick up a pint of milk at the shop, or put out the garbage, a little nudge to complete those mundane tasks is always welcome. Gone are the days of sticky notes; now we can use our smartphones and tablets for prompts about what’s on our to-do list. But what if you don’t have your smartphone to hand? This is where Alexa can help. If you have an Echo smart speaker in your home then you can get the voice assistant to issue an audible reminder at a specific time that you need to do something. Those with an Amazon smart display can even receive a visual hint on the screen. Not only that. If you’re in the US or UK, then you can assign reminders to specific members of the household. This reminder will not only be broadcast on Echo speakers and smart displays but a push notification will also appear in the Alexa app on their smartphone.
