Event Reminder

Feature Definition: Omi should have the ability to add event-based reminders. Users should be able to give commands like "Omi, notify me when X event happens," and Omi should track the event's date and notify them accordingly.

Use Cases:

• Movie Release Notification: "Omi, notify me when Dune: Part 3 is released."

• Concert or Event Reminder: "Omi, let me know when The Weeknd’s 2025 tour starts."

• Tech Launches: "Omi, notify me when the new iPhone is released."

Benefits:

• Users won’t miss important events.

• Modular design makes it adaptable for various types of events.

• Enhances user experience and usefulness of Omi.

Challenges & Risks:

• Reliable Data Sources: To determine event dates, Omi should fetch data from trusted APIs such as IMDB, Google Events, Ticketmaster, and Apple/Google Calendar.

• Spam Notifications: Users may add too many events, leading to notification clutter. A filtering system is necessary.

• Customization: Users should have the ability to choose what type of events they receive notifications for.

• Date Changes: If an event date changes, Omi should be able to track and update it.

Handling Missing Dates:

• If Omi cannot find an exact event date, it should notify the user: "I couldn't find an exact date for this event. Would you like me to keep looking or suggest alternative dates?"

• Omi will check additional data sources and provide an estimated date.

• Users can manually input a date or ask Omi to check again later.

Implementation on Android & iOS:

• Android: Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) and Google Calendar integration.

• iOS: Apple Push Notification Service (APNS) and Siri/Calendar integration.

Suggested Workflow:

1. User gives a command: "Omi, notify me when X event happens."

2. Omi fetches and stores the event date.

3. Reminder notifications can be sent before the event.

4. When the event occurs, Omi sends a final notification.

5. Users can update or cancel the event reminder if needed.

6. If an exact date is not found, Omi provides alternatives.
