Inspiration
I find it hard to stay on track with tasks at times, battling many distractions and short term memory struggles. I almost find myself wishing someone was standing over me nagging to do tasks. This is where Alexa can step in!
What it does
Let Alexa play the role of your annoying parent and nag you to do tasks! For example say "Alexa annoy me to read emails" and Alexa will send you reminders every 5 minutes until you tell it to stop or for a total of 30 minutes. After 30 minutes she will express her disappointment in you not completing the task.
How we built it
Build using Alexa self hosted skills on AWS lambda using python for coding.
Challenges we ran into
It was my first time working with Alexa reminders and I ran into some limitations and challenges but was able to find work around to make the skill work in my desired way in the end.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
I'm very proud that I'm using this skill on a daily basis. I hope others are finding it useful like I am.
What we learned
I learned how to to use Alexa reminders.
What's next for Alexa Nagger
The next iteration of the skill will have a selection menu to select the time frequency of the nags for example every 15 minutes or every hour.
