Who it is forA busy phone user who wants recurring reminders, such as a daily water reminder or a charge reminder when the battery is low.
The problemBuilt-in alarms handle one-off times well, but recurring tasks and battery-linked rules take manual setup each time.
The outcomeOne repeating reminder and one battery automation, both visible in Settings, that run in the background.
What you need first
- An Android phone that can install an APK from outside the Play Store
- A browser on the phone or computer to download the APK from GitHub Releases
- An API key from a supported provider (OpenAI-compatible, Anthropic Claude, or Google Gemini)
- For building from source: JDK 17 and Android SDK with compileSdk 36
- Optional: Shizuku for the run_shell and app management tools, and Accessibility and Usage access toggles for full UI automation
Steps
- Set up an Agent as described in the README and open a chat in Build or Max mode.
- Ask for a repeating reminder, for example remind me to drink water at 9am every day. The AI uses schedule_repeat.
- Ask for a battery rule, for example when battery drops below 20% remind me to charge. The AI uses create_automation.
- Open Settings and check Scheduled tasks for the reminder and Automations for the battery rule.
- Toggle or delete either item in Settings to confirm you can manage it.
Prompt for your agent
Using the repo Verlintas/BetterAIChat, ask the configured Agent to create a daily 9am reminder and a battery-below-20% automation. Expected output: one entry in Scheduled tasks and one in Automations. Verify both entries appear in Settings and that the battery rule is marked active.
Caveat. The README says automations run in the background through AlarmManager without confirmation, so review the actions before you save them.
