Your Personal AI Assistant

Think of WhatsEngine as your personal assistant who never forgets anything. Just tell it what you need to remember, and it will make sure you get reminded at the right time. No need to learn complex syntax - just talk like you’re asking a helpful friend to remind you of something.

Natural Ways to Create Personal Tasks

🗣️ How You Actually Talk

Instead of filling out forms or learning commands, just say it like you mean it:
You: "Remind me to call mom this evening"
Bot: ✅ I'll remind you to call mom today at 6:00 PM [Task #1]

You: "Don't let me forget about the dentist appointment tomorrow"
Bot: ✅ Dentist appointment reminder set for tomorrow at 9:00 AM [Task #2]

You: "Bug me about doing laundry this weekend"
Bot: ✅ Laundry reminder scheduled for Saturday at 10:00 AM [Task #3]

You: "I really need to clean out my garage soon"
Bot: ✅ Task created: Clean out garage - Sunday at 2:00 PM [Task #4]

⏰ Time Intelligence That Actually Works

WhatsEngine understands time the way humans do:
When you say: “later today”
WhatsEngine thinks: 4 hours from now (if it’s morning) or 2 hours from now (if it’s afternoon)
When you say: “this weekend”
WhatsEngine thinks: Saturday at 10:00 AM (your typical weekend start time)
When you say: “next week sometime”
WhatsEngine thinks: Next Monday at 9:00 AM (start of work week)
When you say: “before the meeting”
WhatsEngine thinks: 30 minutes before your next scheduled meeting
Morning context (8 AM):
  • “this morning” = 10:00 AM
  • “this afternoon” = 2:00 PM
  • “tonight” = 7:00 PM
Afternoon context (2 PM):
  • “later today” = 5:00 PM
  • “this evening” = 6:00 PM
  • “tonight” = 8:00 PM
Evening context (7 PM):
  • “later tonight” = 9:00 PM
  • “tomorrow morning” = 9:00 AM
  • “first thing tomorrow” = 8:00 AM

✅ “Review contract and highlight concerns”
✅ “Book dentist appointment for cleaning”

Vague Tasks to Avoid

❌ “Do health stuff”
❌ “Work on project”
❌ “Handle that thing”
❌ “Remember important stuff”

⏰ Timing Strategies

High-energy tasks (morning):
  • “Tackle the budget review first thing tomorrow”
  • “Do the difficult client call when I’m fresh”
Low-energy tasks (afternoon):
  • “Schedule the routine check-in for after lunch”
  • “Do filing and admin work later in the day”
Creative tasks (when you’re in the zone):
  • “Remind me to work on the presentation when I have creative energy”
  • “Writing time when I’m feeling inspired”
Location-based:
  • “When I’m at the office, remind me to grab supplies”
  • “Next time I’m downtown, pick up dry cleaning”
Tool-based:
  • “When I’m on my computer, update my resume”
  • “While I have my phone, call the insurance company”
Mood-based:
  • “When I’m feeling social, call old friends”
  • “When I need a break, organize my desk”

Troubleshooting Personal Tasks

Check these items:
  1. WhatsApp notifications are enabled
  2. You haven’t muted the WhatsEngine chat
  3. Task is scheduled for the right timezone
  4. Your phone has internet connection
  5. Task hasn’t been accidentally completed
Quick test: Send “test reminder in 1 minute” and see if it works
Common issues:
  1. Timezone not set correctly in dashboard
  2. Misunderstood natural language (“next Friday” when you meant “this Friday”)
  3. Time format confusion (12-hour vs 24-hour)
Quick fix: Say “reschedule [task number] to [specific date and time]”
Adjust reminder frequency:
  • “Make task [number] urgent” (more frequent)
  • “Make task [number] low priority” (less frequent)
  • “Only remind me once about [task]”
  • “Bug me every 10 minutes about [task]“
