Job: organize work by voice
Job creates tasks, reminders, calendar events, notes and lists in separate workspaces, and answers from documents you add to them. In Settings, turn on Job under Wake Phrases, create a workspace in Job settings › Jobs & Workspaces and speak the phrase while the big button is already listening. A command returns to the listening mode when it finishes, and supported changes have an undo window. Calendar and Reminders copying is optional; message drafts and shopping links still need you to complete the external action.
Turn on the wake phrase
- Open Settings.
- Under Wake Phrases, turn on Job.
- Read the phrase below it; the default is “hey job”.
- Tap Job settings to configure workspaces, voice and timing.
Turning on a wake phrase does not start the microphone. Start listening with the big button before saying it.
Create a workspace
- In Settings, under Wake Phrases, tap Job settings.
- Tap Jobs & Workspaces.
- Tap the Add button (+), enter a Job name and tap Add.
- Open the workspace.
Its Tasks, Projects, Calendar, Reminders, Lists, Notes, Docs and Setup tabs hold the work for that job. Scroll the tab row sideways to see the remaining tabs. Use separate workspaces for separate jobs.
Choose where commands go
In Jobs & Workspaces, swipe a job row and tap Default to make it the default work destination. Include a job’s name when you want a different destination, such as “hey job, add Acme task prepare the estimate”. Check the saved item in that job after your first command.
Start listening and speak one command
Return to the main screen and tap the big button if Reverbot is inactive. Say the wake phrase and the instruction together: “hey job, add task call the bank”, “hey job, remind me to submit the invoice tomorrow at 9 AM”, or “hey job, take a note: the delivery entrance is on Oak Street”.
Confirm the result or undo it
Listen to the confirmation and check the item’s title, date and destination when needed. If Reverbot asks a follow-up, answer it. After a supported change, say “undo”, “never mind” or “cancel that” within the undo window to reverse it. A new command closes that window; the one-shot command returns to your listening session when finished.
Draft messages and manage lists
Try “hey job, what are my tasks” or “hey job, add to grocery eggs”. Text and email commands prepare a draft for you to review and send yourself. “Buy paper towels” adds a Shopping item and can offer a store link; it does not place an order or pay for anything.
Customize the phrase and timing
Open Job settings › Wake phrase & behaviour. Edit Job wake phrase; an empty field uses “hey job”. Undo Window can be set from 3 to 15 seconds. Silence After Trigger controls how long an unfinished command waits for a prompt. To change command wording for one job, open that workspace’s Setup tab.
If it doesn’t work
- If a command is ignored, check that Job is on under Wake Phrases, the big button is listening and the phrase matches the one shown.
- If the wrong workspace is used, name the job in your command and check the Default job in Jobs & Workspaces.
- If a saved item has the wrong time, use a full date and time, then review the result.
- If a command is misunderstood repeatedly, review that workspace’s Setup bindings and say one instruction at a time.
- If no copy appears in Calendar or Reminders, turn on the corresponding option under Calendar & Reminders Sync and select a writable destination.
Still not working? In Settings, under Feedback, tap Report a Bug and include the command without private information.
