# Irony: I want Sandy launches, and I need a reminder to cover it

Apparently, I need [I want Sandy](http://iwantsandy.com "I want Sandy") to remind me that I want Sandy has launched. (In my own defense, I follow both [Sandy’s blog](http://blog.iwantsandy.com/ "Sandy's blog") and the [Values of n blog](http://www.valuesofn.com/blog/ "Values of N blog"). But both were strangely silent about the release.) I just happened to stumble upon a [*Web Worker Daily* post on I want Sandy](http://webworkerdaily.com/2007/10/22/sandy-remembers-so-you-dont-have-to/ "Web Worker Daily on I want Sandy") as I was catching up on feeds.

So from the better late than never file…

Portland-based [Values of n](http://www.valuesofn.com/ "Values of N"), makers of the popular [Stikkit](http://stikkit.com "Stikkit") thinking sticky notes, have launched their latest application, [I want Sandy](http://iwantsandy.com "I want Sandy"), an anthropomorphoic personal assistant based on Stikkit technology.

Sandy was designed to work in conjunction with existing tools to help you remember what you need to do. Interacting with her is as easy as firing off some “Remind me…” emails.

> Working with me is as simple as sending me email. There’s nothing to download, install, or configure. I live in your address book alongside everyone else you know and email.
> 
> You write to me at a special email address, get my attention with a few simple keywords, and I’ll take it from there.
> 
> When you tell me about appointments, to-dos, and contacts, my replies come with attachments you can click to add to your calendar, to-do list, or address book. You can even introduce me to your calendar so that everything you tell me shows up there automatically.

For more information or to sign up, visit Sandy at [I want Sandy](http://iwantsandy.com "I want Sandy"). Or see additional coverage from [Mashable (sneakily hidden under the uri of “I want Sally”)](http://mashable.com/2007/10/21/i-want-sally/ "Mashable on I want Sandy").
