The attachment reminder is part of Thunderbird since ages. It's based on simple keywords which are recognized.

The birthday reminder could easily be added to GMail but I haven't seen it so far (However, Google calendar has it). It is a comic, anyway! It tends to exaggerate.


It seems to be riffing off the recent Gmail "Smart Compose" feature.

In fact, the recent GMail got a feature to push old unreplied mails to the top (advertised for instance in https://www.indiatoday.in/technology/news/story/gmail-redesi... ). I think Randall refers to this feature.


Yes, but that only provides mail composition with commonly used phrases.

Is there something providing better reminders, based on the content? Basically, like in the comic.

Very often do I send a mail with a content of basically "sending something in the attachment" without actually attaching anything.


Gmail does that attachment reminder
