As mentioned, there is a developer skill production kit. Coding input occurs there. Look here:
https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/alexa/alexa-skills-kit Here is the page to the builtin reminder features for developers. It allows a one time or recurring short text message to be announced at a specified time. An echo version of remind would do so upon request for the current and/or future days. https://developer.amazon.com/docs/smapi/alexa-reminders-overview.html And: https://developer.amazon.com/docs/smapi/alexa-reminders-api-reference.html It also allows creation of custom to-do and other kinds of short text lists to be recalled upon request. This includes the "remember this" list skill. https://www.amazon.com/RURx77-remember-this/dp/B072WCVV9X Some combination of the remind and list api existing structure would appear to provide a foundation for a voice input/output version of remind.
