A daily reminder call, set with one ChatGPT message

A daily call is the workhorse of reminders: the same nudge, same time, every day, for a tablet, a habit or a routine you keep missing. With ChatGPT connected to ReminderIt, you can set one in a single message. This short guide gives you the pattern and the one thing to confirm.

The one-line pattern

A good daily prompt names three things: the action, the time, and the time zone. Keep it to one clear sentence, for example: "Call me every day at 8am Europe/London to take my thyroid tablet."

That single line gives ChatGPT everything it needs. It reaches for create_reminder and sets a recurring daily call, no follow-up questions required if the zone is present.

A worked example

Say you want a nightly wind-down prompt. You type: "Ring me every day at 9:30pm America/New_York to start getting ready for bed."

ChatGPT confirms back something like "a daily call at 9:30pm, America/New_York, to start getting ready for bed," then creates it. From that night on, your phone rings at 9:30pm local time with the spoken reminder.

How daily becomes a schedule

Under the hood, every day at 8am becomes a cron expression such as 0 8 * * *. You do not have to write that; ChatGPT translates your words into it when it calls create_reminder.

If you would rather space calls out instead of hitting a clock time, you can also say something like every 2 days, which ReminderIt handles as an interval rather than a fixed daily slot.

Always confirm the zone

The one detail worth a second glance is the time zone. Because ReminderIt uses IANA zones, 8am means 8am where you named, so make sure ChatGPT reads back the zone you intended before you trust the schedule.

Once confirmed, you can leave it running. To check it later, ask "what daily reminders do I have?" and ChatGPT lists them back with list_reminders.
