Reminders

Reminders is where you manage personal tasks, due dates, and reminder schedules in aura. It combines task management with reminder execution, so you can capture work, schedule follow-ups, and review reminders created either by you or by aura on your behalf.

Use the Reminders workspace

The Reminders page is not just a list of alerts. It is a task-and-reminder workspace built around three parts:

  • a left rail with task views
  • a middle column for the task queue and quick add
  • a details panel for editing the selected task and its linked reminders

This gives you one place to manage both the work itself and the reminders that keep it moving.

Choose the right view

The left rail currently has these views:

  • Inbox
  • Today
  • Upcoming
  • Completed
  • Reminders

Use these views to narrow the queue before you open a task. For example, Inbox is for open work without a due date, Today shows work due today, Upcoming shows work scheduled later, and Reminders surfaces tasks that already have linked reminders.

Add and manage tasks

The middle column is the task queue. This is where you can quickly add a task and move through your current work.

From the current page, you can:

  • quick-add a task
  • open a task in the details panel
  • edit task title, notes, and due date
  • mark a task complete or reopen it
  • delete a task

The details panel is where task editing and reminder management come together.

Add reminders to tasks

Reminders are linked to tasks in the current UI. Once you select a task, the details panel shows existing reminders and lets you add a new one.

Current reminder schedules are:

  • one_time
  • daily
  • weekly

Each reminder needs:

  • a title
  • a schedule

Weekly reminders also use a weekday mask in the current UI.

Manage reminder status

The Reminders page shows reminder timing and current state so you can keep reminders under control after they are created.

A reminder can be in states such as:

  • pending
  • processing
  • sent
  • failed
  • cancelled
  • paused

From the details panel, you can:

  • edit a reminder
  • pause a reminder
  • resume a paused reminder
  • delete a reminder

This means the page is both the creation surface and the management surface for reminders over time.

Let aura create reminders for you

aura agents also have access to the reminders tools. This means you do not always have to open the page and create reminders manually.

From chat workflows, aura can help by:

  • listing open todos and reminders
  • creating todos
  • updating todos
  • creating reminders
  • cancelling reminders

This is useful when you are already working in chat and want aura to turn a request into a reminder or follow-up without making you switch context first.

Review agent-created reminders here

Reminders created by aura land in the same system you manage on this page. There is no separate reminder inbox for agent-created items.

That means the Reminders page is where you come back to:

  • review what aura created
  • edit the reminder text or schedule
  • pause or resume it
  • delete it if it is no longer needed

In practice, agent-created reminders and manually created reminders are managed in the same place.

Understand agent defaults

When aura creates a reminder from chat, it follows a few practical defaults that matter to users:

  • if you ask for a reminder without recurrence, it is treated as one-time
  • if you do not give a date or time, it can default to about one hour from now

This is meant to make reminder creation fast, not to create a separate reminder product. You can always come back to this page to adjust the reminder after aura creates it.

Use reminders for follow-ups

Follow-ups are a good fit for this workspace, even though the current system models them through tasks and reminders rather than a separate follow-up object.

This is useful when:

  • you want a reminder to reply later
  • you need a check-in after a meeting
  • you want aura to create a follow-up reminder from a chat workflow

If your follow-up starts from email context, you may first spot the need in Glance, then track the reminder here.

How to use it

The default path is simple:

  1. Add a task.
  2. Choose the right view from the left rail.
  3. Open the task details.
  4. Add a one-time, daily, or weekly reminder.
  5. Come back later to edit, pause, resume, or delete it.

If you are already working in chat, you can also ask aura in Home to create reminders or follow-ups for you, then review them here afterward.

Good to know

Reminders is the shared workspace for tasks and reminder schedules, whether those reminders were created manually or by aura.
