## Messages to send Mindie
- Weekly, a little early: "Every Monday at 9:45am remind me about the 10am team meeting"
- Time to prepare: "Every Thursday at 4pm remind me to write my three updates for Friday's team meeting"
- One you're running: "Remind me on Wednesday at 11am to send the agenda for Thursday's planning meeting"

A team meeting reminder on WhatsApp is a message a few minutes before the meeting, or a day before if you need to prepare. With Mindie you set it once: "every Monday at 9:45am remind me about the 10am team meeting". It comes back every week until you stop it.

Weekly meetings are easy to forget because they feel routine. The calendar alert pops up in a tab you've closed, and you walk in five minutes late with nothing ready.

## When to be reminded

- **Fifteen minutes before,** to finish what you're doing and join on time.
- **The afternoon before,** if you're expected to share updates or numbers.
- **Two days ahead,** if you run the meeting and need to send an agenda.

## Why meetings catch people out

- **Routine makes it invisible.** The same slot every week stops registering.
- **The prep is the part that slips.** Being on time with no updates isn't much better than being late.
- **Times shift.** One rescheduled week and your habit is off.

## Habits that help

- **Set two reminders,** one to prepare and one to join.
- **Keep a running list of updates.** Send "add to team updates: launched the new pricing page" during the week, then ask for the list before the meeting.
- **Note the actions.** After the meeting, text Mindie the tasks you took on, with days.

## How Mindie handles it

1. **Send one message** with the day, time and how often.
2. **Mindie confirms** it, like "Every Monday at 9:45 am: 10am team meeting".
3. **Each week it messages you** at that time, in your timezone.

If the meeting moves for a week, snooze the reminder or set a one-off. To change it for good, reply "move my team meeting reminder to Tuesday at 9:45am".

## What Mindie doesn't do

- **It doesn't send invites or message your team.** It only talks to you.
- **It doesn't join, record or take minutes.** It reminds you to be there.
- **It doesn't read other chats,** so it won't notice a reschedule unless you tell it or it's on a synced calendar.

## FAQ

### Can I set a reminder for every other week?
Yes. Send "every 2 weeks on Tuesday at 2:45pm remind me about the team sync" and Mindie repeats it on that pattern.

### Can Mindie remind the whole team?
No. Mindie only messages you. Each person sets their own reminders with their own Mindie.

### Does it work with my work calendar?
Yes. Connect Google Calendar or Outlook and Mindie can give you a heads-up before meetings already on it.

### Can I add a reminder to send the agenda?
Yes. Set one for the day before, like "Monday at 4pm: send the agenda for Tuesday's team meeting".

### Can I keep a list of topics for the next meeting?
Yes. Add them as they come up, and ask for the list when you write the agenda.
