Doctor. The daily five minute skill devotion for everyone who's simply dotting about Alexa Hey guys, Robin here a bit about mishmash today first of all something about calendars So we have recently looked at calendars and how you can search for something which is either in the title of the calendar Or in the body so you could say a lady when is my next doctor's appointment for example? And hopefully it will come back with the right information Well, I have found that a little bit hit and miss but yes You can certainly do that and often it will work We obviously know we can ask for what are my appointments today what my appointments next Tuesday afternoon all that sort of thing But you can also ask for when is my next appointment with and then one of the attendees names, so let's give that a go I like so when is my next appointment with Pamela? I found four things related to that repeating event before meeting tomorrow at 11 30 repeating event 345 meetings on the 8th of August at 10 o'clock and Robin Pam connect meeting three on the 15th of August at 15 30 Would you like to hear the last one?
Yes? TBC Techshare Pro likely to be same period of time till last year from 15 November until 17 November. Did that answer your question? Yes Thanks for your feedback Cool, so some recurring weekly appointments there and some one-offs too Really cool So just ask for the name of any of the attendees and you should get that information and don't forget guys You can also ask when you're free.
So when am I free tomorrow? You're free until 9 30 a.m. And from 10 a.m. to 11 30 a.m.
Tomorrow. Okay, otherwise I'm chocker and you can also Easily create delete and move appointments. Maybe we should cover that because it's just so simple Because I create an appointment for 8 p.m. This evening called dog Okay, I've added that I didn't know why that came to the head So move my 8 p.m.
appointment Move dog to what date and time today at 7 p.m. Okay, Robin. I've moved your dog to 7 p.m. Today Delete my 7 p.m.
appointment this evening Robin delete dog at 7 p.m. Right? Yes, I deleted that and obviously that will be put in the default calendar that you've defined in the a lady app cool. Okay, so that's a quick calendar revisit and now how many elephants this is a skill really really simple There is a trick to it.
It will send pictures of elephants numbers of elephants in each picture to the echo show screen or to the app If you have the app open and but here's a top tip It's not necessarily to do with the picture, which is why we're able to do it here on the echo dot and if anything The elephants are a red herring to mix animal metaphors.
