# Reminders & auto-buys

Have the ghost nudge you at the right time — or buy something automatically, within a cap you set.

The ghost can remember things for you and even place orders on a schedule, so you don't have to.

## Reminders

Ask for a nudge at a set time, a set number of days before a date, or on a repeat:

> *"remind me to reorder coffee in two weeks"* · *"nudge me 3 days before mom's birthday to order a gift"* · *"remind me every Monday to check my balance"*

The ghost resolves it to a concrete time in your timezone (and reads it back so you can catch anything off), then texts you when it's due.

## Auto-buys

Set up a recurring or future purchase with a **price cap you choose**:

> *"every month, buy me a 60‑pack of the AA batteries as long as it's under $18"*

**You set the item and a hard cap**

Tell the ghost what to buy and the most you're willing to pay all‑in. You confirm you're okay with it auto‑charging up to that cap.

**It checks the live price each run**

At run time the ghost prices it fresh — item + a tax/shipping headroom + the fee — and **only buys if the total is at or under your cap**.

**Over the cap? It texts you instead**

If the price crept above your cap, it doesn't charge — it messages you so you decide. You're never surprised.

An auto‑buy needs a **saved shipping address** to ship to. Auto‑buys run in live mode only (not test mode), and aren't available on an allowance/gift sub‑account.

## Managing what's scheduled

See everything you've set up, or cancel any of it, any time:

> *"what do i have scheduled?"* · *"cancel the battery auto‑buy"*
