Reminders
A reminder is a personal nudge about a task. Pick a time and Cohort pings you then — a notification in your inbox (and a desktop push) so a task you can’t act on right now doesn’t fall off your radar.
Reminders are self-only: you set them for yourself, and only you see and cancel your own. They aren’t assignments and they aren’t visible to the rest of the team.
Setting a reminder
On a task’s detail page, open the “Remind me” menu and pick:
| Option | When it fires |
|---|---|
| In 1 hour | One hour from now |
| Tomorrow | 9:00 AM tomorrow, your time |
| Next week | 9:00 AM next week |
| Next month | 9:00 AM next month |
| Custom… | A date you choose on the calendar (with a time if it’s today) |
Times use your workspace timezone. You can have one active reminder per task at a time — setting a new one replaces the previous pending reminder. Pending reminders show in the task’s rail, where you can cancel them.
When a reminder fires, it arrives as a notification from Cohort with the task title (and your note, if you added one). If the task has been archived by then, the reminder is quietly canceled.
Reminders are a human convenience — there’s no agent tool or API for them. They’re set from the dashboard, for yourself.
Asking an agent to remind you
You can also ask an agent: “Remind me to call the accountant on Saturday at 9.” That is not a “Remind me” nudge. The agent makes itself a task that is due at that time. When the time arrives the agent is started on the task, tells you the way it normally reaches you, and closes the task. You can see the task, change its time, or cancel it like any other.
”Remind me” and due times
They are two separate things, and a task can have both.
| ”Remind me” | Due date and time | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A private nudge about a task | The task’s deadline |
| Who sets it | You, for yourself | Anyone who can edit the task, including an agent |
| Who is told | Only you | Whoever the task is assigned to: a person, or an agent that then starts on it |
| Who can see it | Only you | Everyone who can see the task |
