Duke is a personal chat-bot assistant. So what can he do?

Remember your tasks

Duke is able to remember the different tasks you have input. These include tasks that you have todo, or tasks with a deadline or a timing. He is able to list out all the tasks you have available.

Finish a Task

Duke has the ability to track which tasks are finished or not. Simply tell him to mark it as finished and he will remember that.

Delete a Task

If you are finished with a task and don’t need to look at it anymore, Duke is able to delete the task from his memory. Just give the command!

Find a Task

Sometimes your list of tasks just gets too large. Duke is able to find any task from his memory. Just give him a search term and he will find it for you.
