Reminders

The Reminders feature lets you set timed reminders that fire as toast notifications in your browser. Schedule a reminder and the platform will notify you when the time arrives.

Creating a Reminder

Use the /remind command in any chat:

/remind 30m check the build status

The platform parses the time and message, schedules the reminder, and confirms it in the chat:

Reminder set for 30m: check the build status

Command Syntax

/remind [time] [message]

The word "me" and "in" are optional and will be ignored:

/remind me in 30 minutes to check the build
/remind 2h review the PR
/remind 1d deploy to production

Time Formats

Format	Unit	Example
30s, 30sec, 30seconds	Seconds	/remind 30s check the timer
5m, 5min, 5minutes	Minutes	/remind 5m take a break
2h, 2hrs, 2hours	Hours	/remind 2h review PR
1d, 1day, 1days	Days	/remind 1d follow up on email

The time value must be a number followed by a unit. Only relative times ("in X minutes/hours") are supported.

подсказка

You can use the word "to" between the time and message for natural phrasing: /remind 1h to check the deployment

How Reminders Work

1. When you create a reminder, it is stored in IndexedDB under the ais-reminders key
2. A JavaScript setTimeout is scheduled for the specified duration
3. When the timer fires, a toast notification appears with your message
4. The reminder is automatically removed from storage after firing

Page Visibility Check

Reminders also check for overdue items whenever your browser tab becomes visible (using the Page Visibility API). This handles the case where your computer was asleep or the tab was in the background when the reminder was due.

warning

Reminders require the browser tab to be open. They are not server-side push notifications. If you close the tab or the browser, reminders will fire the next time you open the app (if they are past due), but they will not wake your device.

Viewing Active Reminders

Active (not yet fired) reminders are stored in IndexedDB. Currently, you can see them via the confirmation message in chat. A dedicated reminder management UI is planned for a future release.

Canceling Reminders

Reminders fire once and are automatically removed. There is currently no command to cancel a pending reminder before it fires. To avoid an unwanted reminder, you can clear the chat or reload the page (reminders are re-scheduled from storage on load, so this alone will not cancel them).

Persistence

Reminders survive page reloads. When the app initializes:

1. All saved reminders are loaded from IndexedDB
2. Each reminder's timeout is re-scheduled based on its stored due time
3. If a reminder is already past due, it fires immediately

Limitations

Limitation	Detail
Browser tab required	Reminders are client-side only -- they need the tab to be open
Relative time only	No "at 3pm" or "tomorrow at 9am" -- only "in X minutes/hours/days"
No recurring reminders	Each reminder fires once
Single device	Reminders are stored in the browser and do not sync across devices
Maximum timeout	JavaScript setTimeout has a max of ~24.8 days (2^31 ms). Reminders beyond this may not fire accurately

к сведению

Reminders are associated with a specific bot. The reminder is stored with the bot's ID, so it is linked to the conversation where you created it.
