Gemma

AI personal assistant that calls you with reminders

2026-02-24

Product Introduction

  1. Definition: Gemma is an AI-powered voice reminder service (technical category: conversational AI for task management) that replaces app notifications with real phone calls. It syncs with Google Calendar, processes natural language commands, and automates scheduling via telephony APIs.
  2. Core Value Proposition: Gemma solves notification fatigue by ensuring critical reminders are never missed, leveraging voice calls that achieve a 95% on-time rate—proven through 2,000+ beta calls. Primary keywords: AI reminder calls, missed notification solution, voice-based scheduling.

Main Features

  1. Real Phone Call Delivery: Uses telephony infrastructure (VoIP/PSTN) to place calls instead of push notifications. Technical implementation: Triggers calls via backend APIs at user-specified times, bypassing app notification limitations.
  2. Natural Language Processing (NLP): Processes conversational commands like "remind me in 10" or "mark as done" using transformer-based AI models (similar to Google’s BERT). Converts speech to text, analyzes intent, and executes actions without predefined scripts.
  3. Google Calendar Sync: Integrates via Google Calendar API with OAuth 2.0 authentication. Auto-imports events, sets reminder calls based on event types, and syncs changes in real time.
  4. Adaptive Scheduling AI: Employs machine learning to optimize call timing (e.g., "right at meeting time" vs. "minutes before"). Learns from user rescheduling patterns (e.g., frequent delays for specific event types) to personalize future alerts.

Problems Solved

  1. Pain Point: Notification overload causing missed critical reminders (e.g., appointments, medication). Gemma’s call-based system has a 3x higher effectiveness rate than standard app alerts.
  2. Target Audience:
    • Professionals (e.g., financial analysts, sales reps): High-meeting workloads requiring zero-miss scheduling.
    • Students/Caregivers: Time-sensitive tasks (e.g., class deadlines, medication) needing reliable, hands-free reminders.
    • Elderly Users: Tech-averse individuals who answer calls but ignore notifications.
  3. Use Cases:
    • Medical adherence: Daily pill reminders via voice call.
    • Meeting punctuality: Calls 5 minutes before calendar events.
    • Family logistics: "Pick up kids" alerts that can’t be swiped away.

Unique Advantages

  1. Differentiation: Unlike Todoist or Google Tasks (notification-dependent), Gemma uses telephony for 100% delivery—even when apps fail. Competitors lack voice-based rescheduling (e.g., "remind me tomorrow" via conversation).
  2. Key Innovation: Proprietary "call-first" architecture combining NLP with telephony APIs. Processes complex commands mid-call (e.g., dynamic rescheduling) while competitors require manual app input.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

  1. How does Gemma’s AI handle different accents or speech patterns?
    Gemma’s NLP uses multilingual ASR (Automatic Speech Recognition) trained on diverse datasets, ensuring >90% accuracy for English accents and colloquial phrases like "I’ll be there."
  2. Can Gemma call landlines or international numbers?
    Yes, via PSTN integration. International calls require credits (see Professional plan), while landlines work globally.
  3. Is my Google Calendar data stored on Gemma’s servers?
    No—data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and processed ephemerally. Gemma only stores event times/reminder settings, not calendar details.
  4. What happens if my phone is offline during a scheduled call?
    Gemma’s system retries twice at 5-minute intervals. If unreachable, it sends an email/SMS fallback alert (configurable in settings).
  5. Does Gemma support team reminders for businesses?
    Not yet, but a business tier with shared calendars and group reminders is launching Q4 2024 (per roadmap).
