Yeah. They did exactly that

      Location-aware reminders is almost literally all I want from an assistant these days. “Remind me of x next time I’m at y, or by z time at the latest. Is this an impossible task? I can imagine how I would code it, but maybe I’m missing something.

        I think they just haven’t figured out how to monetize it, really. I agree that it’s totally codable. I could do it with tasker if it were my job, IE, I was paid to and had 8h a day to do it.

          Where’s the monetization in alarms, though? Or time-based reminders? Surely those are no more lucrative than what I’m asking for, yet they’ve existed for years.

            Fair point. Maybe they use the data for research?

            Without alarms and timers, they don’t sell the phone, probably.
