Reminders & widgets

Reminders, in plain language

Reminders are conversational. There’s no form to fill in:

“Remind me to call Sam tomorrow at 3.” “Actually make that 4.” “What’s on my plate this week?” “Done with the dentist one.”

Your companion creates, updates, completes, and deletes reminders as part of the conversation, and she knows your active list: ask what’s coming up and she answers from it. Due reminders surface through her, spoken, rather than as another silent notification you’ll ignore.

The bell icon shows your active reminders at a glance, with a badge when something needs attention.

The ambient rail

Along the left edge of the window sits the widget rail: four quiet icons that follow a deliberate design rule: invisible until wanted. Hover the rail and it wakes; a glass panel slides open beside the icon you’re on, and gliding between icons retargets the panel without it flickering closed. One panel at a time, and it gets out of the way when you leave.

• Weather: local conditions and forecast, using your location (with your permission) so it’s actually your weather.
• Stocks: a small watchlist with price and daily change.
• News: headlines, expandable to a reading panel.
• Reminders: the list view of everything above.

The widgets share their data with your companion: “how’s my portfolio doing?” or “anything in the news about the launch?” answers from the same live data the widgets show.
