Amazon's Alexa can now create reminders

AI-powered intelligent assistant Alexa is now able to create reminders, Amazon announced today. Now anyone with an Alexa-enabled device can say "Alexa, remind me to stay woke in 10 minutes" or "Alexa, remind me to tell my dad I love him on June 18." Amazon also announced today that Echo or Echo Dot users can create countdown timers with custom names. All scheduled reminders and timers can be viewed in the Alerts and Alarms section section of Alexa app. The ability to create reminders is a longtime requested feature from Alexa fans, like adding calendar events used to be for Google Assistant on Google Home users until Google finally added that feature in May.
