The gap: from plan to people in the room
A plan lives in a chat or a calendar. On the day, it competes with every other notification on the phone, and an agent that sends one more reminder is sending one more notification. What gets people out the door is something that rings, that they chose to receive, and that is a bit of fun: a hype video, the song of the night, a wake board of who answered first.
That is a narrow job, and it is the one LFG Alarm does. Your agent keeps doing the planning; the alarm handles the moment.
What this looks like on a normal week
The Thursday dinner your agent booked. You ask Claude to find a night that works for you and three friends, and it finds Thursday at 8:00 from your calendar and books the table. In the same chat you ask it to use LFG Alarm to set a friends alarm for 6:30 on Thursday called "Dinner at Sol, 8pm", with your three friends added by username. They each get a notification and tap to ride. At 6:30 four phones ring, and nobody is still at their desk at 7:50.
The morning habit with a friend abroad. You and a friend in Berlin want to start writing at 6:00 every weekday. You ask your agent for a repeating alarm at 6:00, Monday to Friday, ringing each of you at your own local time, with your friend added. Each phone rings at its own 6:00, and the wake board stays open for 24 hours so you can see who got up first after their own ring.
The flight your agent found in your inbox. Your agent reads the confirmation email for a 7:10 flight on Saturday. You ask it to set a one-off alarm for 4:45 that morning called "Flight 7:10, car at 5:15", and to add your travel partner by email. That one sentence replaces two people setting two alarms and hoping they both picked the right time zone.
Your agent can also set price, post and event alarms from chat; wallet and trader alarms are made in the app for now. See Using LFG Alarm from your AI agent.
How to add it
- If your agent supports MCP connectors, connect LFG Alarm once and ask it to make the alarm and share the link. See Using LFG Alarm from your AI agent.
- Instinct connects the same way: send it LFG Alarm's docs and the server address once, and sign in. See Connect LFG Alarm to Instinct.
- If your agent does not support MCP, let it make the plan, then make the alarm in the app and drop the link in the same chat.
Have your AI agent make it.
Paste this into ChatGPT, Claude, Grok or any AI agent that can add a connector, not into the LFG Alarm app. The setup steps come with it: get the LFG Alarm app, connect it to your agent once, and your agent makes the alarm in your account.
Use LFG Alarm to make a friends alarm for 3:00pm this Sunday called "Watch party, join the call", with "KICK OFF" drawn on the wallpaper, add my friends [username] and [username], and give me the link for the group chat.
Already have the LFG Alarm app and connected it to your AI agent?
Why it works. For something online, ringing at the start gets everyone in the room at the same second, and the link lets the rest of the chat ride along.
