What's keeping us busy ?
Yes, we know this ain't perfect . But we are surely trying to get close. We are working on understanding more human friendly language.
Some of the features we will be supporting in future releases:
1) Remind me to pay bill in 10 days
result: "Hey, time to pay bill"
2) Remind me to check my secondary mail every 2 days
result: "Check your secondary mail." - (Recurring reminder every 2 days.)
3) Pay phone bill on 2nd of every month
result: "Pay phone bill." - (This message is revieved on 2nd of every month.)
... and a lot more.
But that's still to come. For now, bear with the service's inablity to understand all of your messages.
Keep using the service.That will keep us going. And there is more NLP to come.
