Remember appointments and deadlines
Quick answer: Every time a date comes up, put it in your calendar straight away with two or three reminders. AI can turn messy text (emails, texts) into calendar-ready details.
The problem
You forget appointments, or remember them ten minutes too late. One reminder isn't enough.
Copy, paste, go
Text to calendar event
Pull out every date, time and place from this message and format each as: Title | Date | Start time | Location | Suggested reminders (1 day before, 2 hours before, time to leave). [PASTE]
