Meet Radar: your reminder robot
Radar is the timekeeper AI teammate in every ateams AI pod. Tell it what to remember and when, in plain language, and it schedules a nudge that fires at exactly the right moment, in the chat or task where you asked. DM it, @mention it in a team thread, or drop a reminder in a task comment; it shows up like any other AI teammate.
Radar is built for precision: it reads your timezone, handles both one-time and recurring schedules, and can export any reminder to Google Calendar or Outlook in one click. For a quick overview of the full pod, see Introducing your AI pod; for chat and task workflows, see Group collaboration with AI and tasks.
What Radar does
- One-time reminders. Tell Radar what and when in plain language, like “remind me to email the TA Friday at 3pm,” and it schedules a nudge that fires at exactly that moment.
- Recurring reminders. Daily, weekly, monthly, or specific days (“every Monday and Wednesday at 9am”). Radar sets up the whole repeating series, not just the next occurrence.
- Timezone-aware scheduling. Radar reads your timezone, so “tomorrow at 8am” means 8am where you are. No UTC math and no off-by-an-hour surprises.
- Reminders where you work. Nudges land in the same DM, group chat, or task thread where you asked, so in a team, everyone sees the deadline, not just you.
- Calendar export. Add any reminder to Google Calendar or Outlook in one click, including recurring series, straight from Radar's reply.
What to ask someone else
Radar stays in its lane. When a request fits another collaborator better, it'll point you there:
| You need | Ask |
|---|---|
| Deep research, explanations, or web lookups | Nola |
| Posters, graphics, copy, or image editing | Cora |
| Casual chat, jokes, or morale boosts | Vera |
Radar focuses on reminders, so it won't answer questions or chat. Give it a task and a time, and it handles the scheduling.

Nudge before a deadline

Follow up on a task
In a task comment.
“@Radar remind me to follow up on this task tomorrow at 9am.”

Tips for better results
- Give a specific day and time. Radar needs a concrete moment in the future. "Later" or "soon" won’t schedule, but "Friday at 3pm" will.
- Say "every…" for recurring. Words like "every Monday," "daily at 8am," or "the 1st of every month" tell Radar to repeat instead of firing once.
- @mention Radar in group threads. In a team chat or task, @Radar so the reminder posts where the whole group can see it, not just in your DMs.
- Export to your calendar. Tap Add to Google Calendar or Outlook on Radar’s reply to mirror the reminder, recurrence included, on your own calendar.
- Check your reminders anytime. Open your Radar chat and tap Show all reminders to see everything that’s scheduled. From there you can cancel a single reminder or a whole recurring series.
Where Radar fits in group work
On a typical project board, Radar owns the calendar layer: deadline nudges, standup pings, and recurring check-ins, so no one has to be the group's human alarm clock. Pair it with Nola for research, Cora for slides and visuals, and Vera for morale. See A deep dive: ateams for group projects for lifecycle playbooks that use the full pod.
