A bot to keep me engaged outside of work. I need to be kept on task with small stuff around the home, chores, maintenance, finances, etc. Also when I've completed those tasks, I need stuff to do/read when I'm bored. What should I do with my weekend? What should I read on my ride home from work? Lists are fine but what I'm really looking for is a bot.

I like this idea. As a father with little kids, I find myself regularly sidetracked. A bot that reminds me of pending tasks would be great. Bonus points if that bot can also let me know of relevant, local community events that are coming up.
