Hey everyone,
I’ve been loving that the R1 is finally bringing the timer and alarm function, but I think there’s room to make it even more useful.
If we take an example using the r1 in the kitchen, especially when juggling multiple cooking tasks. Here’s an idea I’d like to share:
Imagine this scenario: You’re cooking dinner, and you start by asking, “R1, set a timer for 12 minutes for the pasta.” A little while later, you put some veggies in the oven and say, “R1, add another timer for 18 minutes for my veggies.” As you’re multitasking, you also want to grill some fish, so you say, “R1, set a timer for 3 minutes for the fish and restart it right away to grill the other side.”
But here’s the best part: When each timer goes off, instead of just hearing a generic sound, the R1 alerts you with a specific message like, “Pasta is ready!” or “The veggies can be taken out of the oven.”
Now, this scenario is just one example. Imagine the same functionality being applied to more serious tasks. For instance, you could say, “R1, set a timer for 30 minutes to call the boss,” and then follow it up with, “In 2 hours, remind me to call mom.” Instead of just setting generic alarms, R1 could notify you with personalized reminders like, “It’s time to call your boss” or “Don’t forget to call mom.”
This kind of upgrade would make R1 a true personal assistant, keeping you on top of both your culinary creations and your important tasks throughout the day. I believe this would not only enhance productivity but also bring a more personalized touch to how we manage our time.
What do you all think? Could this be a future update for the R1? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!
