This is a repo for the HackTheMidlands3.0 hackathon, this will remain private and only available to the people within our group.
Our group created a "Remind Me" SaaS (Software-as-a-service) where people are able to send the bot a message asking for a reminder, and the bot would wait until that time to send a text message back, reminding the person.
User: Remind Me to go to the store in 3 hours!
RemindMe: Sure! I will remind you to go to the store in 3 hours.
*3 hours later*
RemindMe: Please remember to go to the store! You asked me to remind you 3 hours ago.
