"Add dinner with Luis on Thursday at 9 at Casa Lucio"
Creates the event in your Calendar, geocodes the place and sets the alert you ask for. If the phone's calendar will not accept writes, it uses your Google Calendar.
create_calendar_event Catalog
All 63 actions, one by one
Taken from the code, not from a brochure. Each row says what you say, what Nia does, which plan it is in and who finishes the action.
How to read the catalog
- Nia does it Nia finishes it herself and it is done. There is nothing left for you to touch.
- Ready to send Nia prepares it and opens the app with everything written. You press send. It is the only thing iOS allows for WhatsApp, Messages or calls.
- Runs a Shortcut Nia writes or runs a Shortcut of yours. Shortcuts opens and may ask you to confirm.
Calendar, reminders and alarms
The iPhone's Calendar, Reminders and Clock, written to for real, with a button to undo it.
"What have I got tomorrow?"
Reads the iPhone Calendar and your Google Calendar as a single calendar, with no duplicates, and tells you which sources it could read and which it could not.
list_events "Move the 10 o'clock meeting to 12"
Moves the event wherever it is, keeping its length.
move_event "Remind me to buy milk when I leave the house"
Creates the reminder with day, time, repeat, notes, link, priority, list, or on arriving at or leaving a place. A time always carries an alarm; a day with no time gets no alarm invented for it.
create_reminder "Which reminders are overdue?"
Today, tomorrow, this week, overdue, undated, completed or all of them, with the real lists from your phone.
list_reminders "Change the dentist one to five o'clock"
Time, day, text, notes, link, priority, list and repeat. The alarm moves with the time.
update_reminder "Mark the pharmacy one as done"
Closes it. If it repeats it does not close: it moves on to the next date and Nia tells you so.
complete_reminder "Delete the reminder for the service"
Deletes it, and undo writes it back.
delete_reminder "Set an alarm for seven"

Lists the alarms and the timers that are running.
list_alarms "Take off the seven o'clock alarm"
Cancels the alarm or the timer.
cancel_alarm "How is my day looking?"
Your calendar, the weather, how long it takes you to get to the first thing, your contacts' birthdays and what is sitting in the Gmail inbox.
morning_briefing "Tomorrow at eight, find me flights to Rome"
The job runs on its own on the server and the answer reaches you as a notification, with your phone in your pocket.
schedule_task "What jobs have you got pending?"
What Nia has in hand, and for when.
list_scheduled_tasks "Cancel the flights one"
Cancels the job.
cancel_scheduled_task "Every day at eight, tell me about my day"
A routine with a trigger of time, of place or of a system event, and any Nia action behind it.
create_routine Messages, calls and email
WhatsApp, Messages, the phone, Gmail and Telegram. What can be sent on its own is sent; what cannot, Nia leaves written for you.

Resolves the contact in your address book and opens WhatsApp with the message written. You press send.
draft_whatsapp "Send dad a text"

send_email "Anything important in my email?"
Sums up what is recent in your Gmail inbox.
read_inbox_summary "Archive this week's newsletters"

manage_email "Send me this on Telegram"
It reaches your phone through the Nia bot without you touching anything.
send_telegram "Put together a post with yesterday's photos"

"Scan this contract for me"
Opens the iOS scanner and produces a PDF.
scan_document_to_pdf "Log this receipt"
Merchant, date, total, VAT, currency and line items. The photo never leaves the phone, and the result says so.
scan_receipt "Record this meeting and summarize it"
Transcribes on the device and finishes even if you close the app. Telling the voices apart is the only part that sends audio out, and it is asked for separately.

Tells you how long it takes and opens Google Maps, Waze or Apple Maps with the route set. It never reads the directions out loud to you.

The places appear on the map on the card, numbered like the rows. If it cannot apply a filter it tells you, instead of making up the opening hours.
find_places "Get me an Uber to the airport"
Opens Uber with the destination set, and shows you the map before you confirm.

Announces it in the group with the date that is in Contacts.
announce_birthday_to_group Memory, character and extensions

A phrase of yours fires an HTTPS webhook of yours, or one of your Shortcuts.

custom_skill_webhook "Run my arriving home shortcut"
Runs a Shortcut that already exists, by name, with input text and an answer back.
run_shortcut "Make me a shortcut that turns everything off and sets the alarm"
Writes the whole Shortcut, signs it and opens Apple's import sheet. Until you press Add, the shortcut does not exist, and the card says so above the button.
create_shortcut What is not on this list, Nia does not promise.
There are things iOS lets no app that is not Apple do: send a WhatsApp for you, listen with the app closed, schedule a Shortcut. They are all written down, with what Nia does instead, in what iOS will not allow.
