Tasks & Reminders
Never forget important to-dos again. Julia helps you capture tasks on the fly, track your progress, and stay organized. Just tell her what you need to remember, and she'll take care of the rest.
Creating Tasks
Add tasks using natural language. Julia understands various ways of expressing reminders and to-dos, and she'll automatically parse due dates from your message.

Marked **"Submit expense report"** as complete! ✅ You finished it before the Friday deadline — nice work!
Smart Duplicate Detection
Julia detects when you're creating a task that looks similar to an existing one. Instead of blindly creating a duplicate, she'll let you know and offer options.

Remind me to submit the expense report
You already have a similar task: 📋 **Submit the expense report** (due Friday, 5 PM) Would you like me to: • Add a second reminder for a different time? • Update the existing task? • Create a separate task anyway?
Task Reminders
Julia can proactively remind you about tasks at a specific time. When a reminder fires, she messages you directly in your chat with quick action buttons to snooze or complete the task with a single tap.
Reminder vs. Deadline
Julia distinguishes between two different times for tasks:
Reminder Time
When Julia should notify you. "Remind me at 3pm" sets the reminder — you'll get a message at 3pm.
Due Date / Deadline
When the task should be completed by. "Submit report by Friday 5pm" sets the deadline — overdue tasks are flagged.
Proactive Reminders
Julia will automatically message you about:
- Task reminders at the time you set
- Tasks due tomorrow (evening notification)
- Morning briefing with today's tasks and meetings
- Weekly agenda overview
Available on all plans — Free users get up to 5 task reminders per day, while Pro and Executive users enjoy unlimited reminders. See the Notifications page for full details.
Snooze & Quick Actions
When a reminder arrives, you can respond with quick action buttons — no need to type. On Telegram, these appear as inline keyboard buttons; on WhatsApp, as quick reply buttons.
