Title: New questions
Post by: samabc on May 25, 2017, 04:23:45 pm

I have a few questions I would like to be able to ask my echo. Is it possible to add questions and their answers to my echo's database?

I don't understand.  So you know the answers before you ask the questions?

More like to-do lists and reminders. What do I need to do today? What time is my meeting? Stuff like that.

There is a to-do list and a shopping list in the Alexa software.  However, reminders are not yet supported.  If you tell Alexa to remind you to "cook dinner" it will add it to your to-do list.  You will have to ask Alexa, what's on my to do list.  There might be an Alexa Skill for reminders tho. 
If you have a calendar (Google, MS and maybe others), it will tell you what you have on the schedule for today or any day  you have a scheduled event.  You'll have to link your calendar with Alexa via the software.   Ask, Alexa, what's on my schedule/calendar for today.  All this is very basic Alexa features.  Hope I've understood your question right.
