Reminders - a very convenient feature added in iOS 5. They just made for Siri. You can ask, what kind of things left to perform, which have already been implemented, it needs to be done today, etc. In this case, consider an example of creation of a reminder at a specific time.

1. "Remind me to look through the article "- a reminder text itself
   
2. "Tomorrow at 2 a.m "- setting a reminder time
   
3. "Confirm or cancel "- we see reminders ready for approval or reset.
