Repeating reminders suit small things you have already decided to do regularly, such as reading for ten minutes on weekday evenings. Before setting one, decide whether this is a one-time task or an action that continues weekly or daily. The more clearly you state the frequency, the easier it is to check what Cami understood. As one entry point of a proactive AI companion for daily life, a reminder connects something you have decided to do to a concrete time; check the schedule first, then confirm the notification behaves as expected.
First tell one-time and repeating reminders apart
| Need | Example phrasing | Key things to check |
|---|---|---|
| One time only | Remind me to hand in the materials before 3 pm on October 5 | The date and the reminder time |
| Every day | Remind me to read for ten minutes at 8 every evening | The repeat frequency and the start time |
| Weekdays only | Remind me to sort out tomorrow’s tasks at 9 on weekday evenings | Whether the weekday range is right |
These are examples of phrasing; the repeat options actually supported and the recognition results depend on the current app’s form. When unsure, state a clear date and weekday.
Check the repeating reminder settings in Cami
On weekday evenings at 9, remind me to sort out tomorrow’s tasks, starting with ten minutes. No reminders on weekends.
This is an example of how to phrase a request; check the actual recognition and results in the app.
- Describe the action, time and frequency in the chat or task entry.
- Check whether the result kept the “weekdays” and “no reminders on weekends” limits, not just the task name.
- Tell apart the task’s start time and the earlier reminder time; confirm both match what you meant.
- After saving, check the rule in the app’s reminders or task details, and adjust the arrangement when your schedule changes.
Do not set a repeating notification for every passing idea. Keep the one action that matters most, confirm the nudge really helps you start, then add other reminders.
If a reminder did not appear, check in this order
- Whether the task or reminder was saved in the app, and whether the date, weekday and time are correct.
- Whether the phone’s system allows Cami to send notifications, and whether focus or do-not-disturb mode is on.
- Whether Android’s background and battery-saving restrictions are affecting notifications; settings differ between models.
- If problems persist, note the phone model, system and app version, and contact the team with the time it happened.
A reminder is a cue to act; it cannot guarantee completion and is not a replacement for professional notification systems that require strict guarantees. For ordinary reading and tidying tasks, start with a lower frequency and see how it goes.
FAQ
If you miss one, should you create another reminder?
Check the existing rule and the day’s tasks first to avoid creating duplicates. Adjust the time or the next action as needed.
Why is there no notification even though the date is right?
Reminder display is also affected by system permissions, do-not-disturb mode and background restrictions. Rule those out first, then describe the situation to the team.
