TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

And you scale every day in five minutes. Hey guys, we're in here two quick things today. First of all, an update on new functionality that has come to the A-Lady here in the UK. Things you can do with your calendar.

We all know that we can ask our auto appointments this morning, this evening, next Thursday, afternoon, all of those things. And that's absolutely brilliant. I use those all the time. And that we can create appointments.

But now we can move appointments, cancel appointments, and search for appointments. These are really, really powerful. Let's give it a go. And we'll set auto appointments this evening.

There's nothing to show for this evening. This is our one. And appointment for 7.30pm. OK.

On what day? Today. And what's the name of the event? Call Mum.

I'll check all number. Today is 7.30pm. OK. Yes.

OK. I did that. I'll set move my 7.30pm appointment. Move all number.

What? 8.30pm today. OK. I've moved call number 8.30pm today.

I'll set when it's my next appointment to call number. Here's what I found. Call number today. 20.

That's your question. Yes. Thanks for your feedback. I'll set cancel my 8.30pm appointment.

3.30pm. Right? Yes. Sorry, Mum.

OK. There you go. How cool and powerful is that? I'm now going to pass it back to the brilliant Brian for his demo.

Hello, everybody. This is counterproductive Brian from across the pod. Today, I was going to take a look at a dirt-syplescule called a spin wheel. It does nothing more than select your main name from a list that you give it.

There's nothing much more to it than that. But we enjoy this for doing things like selecting first player in a game when I have a friend's over. So let's give it a quick look. Hello.

So open spin the wheel. Tell me after 10 names so I can spin the wheel. Ready? Ben, Adam, Tim, Rob, Brian.

The lucky winner is Tim. I repeat. It's Tim. Some call me Tim.

More than that you can select first player in the game. You can give away some work from your children if you're a parent or selected chore. Anyway, this is a fun little thing. Give it a try.

If you like it. Hello. I'm sure. If you enjoy the dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot.

There was more of it. You're in luck. Why not join Rob and myself over at the Echo shunt podcast where we take a deep dive into more Echo skills and let you know exactly what we think of them. That's the Echo shunt podcast.

Take a listen. Recast dot FM.
