Reminders & Scheduled Tasks

LIVE

Reminders

Type a time in natural language: remind me to give Keppra at 8pm, reminder: call insurance Monday morning. ARIA parses the time, saves the reminder, and delivers via your chosen channels.

Delivery channels

• Chat bubble — inline in the chat, with Done and Snooze buttons.
• Desktop toast — native OS notification.
• Google Calendar — proper calendar event if you're signed in.

Catch-up bubbles

Anything that fired while ARIA was closed appears as a catch-up bubble the next time you open the app. Nothing is lost to being offline.

Per-channel delivery policy

A focused reminder suppresses the desktop toast so you aren't triple-notified. The policy is sensible by default and tunable in settings.

Scheduled Tasks

Cron for families and researchers. 13 outcome-first templates cover reauthorization drafts, supply reorders, care summaries, appointment prep, school updates, wearable checks, medication refills, paper alerts, RAG ingest, trial eligibility scans, research digests, database backups, and webhooks.

Action types

Four action types per scheduled task: desktop notify, chat-push, webhook, or aria-action (invoke any ARIA capability on a schedule).

Crash recovery

The atomic claim pattern means a task that was mid-execution when the app crashed doesn't double-run on restart.

Where it lives

Reminders: from any chat, plus the Reminders panel in the sidebar. Scheduled Tasks: Menu → Automation → Scheduled Tasks (Ctrl+Shift+T) or Quick Access tile.

Why it exists

ARIA's advantage over a plain reminder app is context: a medication reminder from ARIA knows the dose, the schedule, and the last time it was given.
