My Reminders Smart List to focus on what matters most The Reminders app is equipped with several built-in lists where I spend most of my time on any given day. ‘Today’ and ‘Scheduled’ are my typical go-tos, as I imagine they are for most users.

As a born-and-raised British man, I've spent my life watching British TV so I know firsthand just how good our comedy can be. And it goes beyond the cliches of John Cleese thrashing his car with a tree branch in Fawlty Towers or providing the jumping-off point for the US version of The Office: British comedy has captured the hearts of generations of TV viewers and filled the nation's homes -- especially my own -- with laughter.

In the coming years, agents are widely expected to take over more and more chores on behalf of humans, including using computers and smartphones. For now, though, they’re too error prone to be much use. A new agent called S2, created by the startup Simular AI, combines frontier models with models specialized for using computers. The agent achieves state-of-the-art performance on tasks like using apps and manipulating files—and suggests that turning to different models in different situations ma

It’s the phrase that’s like catnip to many iPad users: iPadOS 19 will reportedly make Apple’s tablet run “more like macOS” including with upgraded multitasking. We’ve heard it before, and technically Apple has accomplished it before—though with mixed results. New products in the pipeline, however, mean that iPadOS 19’s success has higher stakes than previous attempts. iPadOS multitasking: Here we go again When the iPad first launched, it was a simple, approachable “third category of device.”

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Google is working on a new “Scheduled actions” feature for Gemini, with options to pause and resume scheduled tasks. There aren’t further clues within the Google app, but we presume it could be similar to ChatGPT’s Scheduled tasks feature. Scheduled tasks contain instructions that enable ChatGPT to automatically run prompts on a scheduled basis. One of the primary use cases for digital assistants has been the ability to run reminders and scheduled tasks.

AI agents could have a wide range of potential benefits, such as automating scientific research or serving as personal assistants. However, to fully realize the potential of AI agents, it is essential to identify and measure — in order to ultimately mitigate — the security risks these systems could introduce.
