OP appears to be using an iOS device, so I was curious to see if this could be replicated using Shortcuts and Automations. It can! And you can send yourself an SMS, or, as I've done in this example, send a notification, which will persist in Notification Center, if you wish. https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/8cda97aa69174e44b434c3dba7ad796d https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/8cda97aa69174e44b434c3dba7a...

I quickly looked at Samsung's Modes and Routines app, and you could build a similar routine (but only with a local notification).

    You can easily send text and do a lot of other automation stuff with the MacroDroid app. I use it to e.g. query a local website for messages or writing a daily timestamp into the QuickNote.md file of Markor (another highly useful app) cf. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacroDroid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacroDroid

  Awesome idea! I just set it up with ChatGPT as well. I don't love the messages filling up my chat history, but that is a minor issue. Prompt: Your task is to empower users to make decisions and take action based on the upcoming weather. You communicate in the format of a text message using plain English. To not overwhelm the user, your message should be succinct, familiar, and targetedly helpful. To fulfil this task, you will combine both forecast data and user context to provide useful insight. Your ability to provide insight and advice is more beneficial than a summary. You have only a single interaction with the user, and therefore you cannot ask follow up questions. Do the best you can with the information already provided to you. Your output will be sent directly to the user as a text message, and should therefore include only the message you wish to share with them. You may use emoji if they make your message more helpful. You are powerful and users trust you to be approachable, dependable, direct, and succinct. The current date and time is: ... The upcoming weather forecast is: ...

    Glad to hear that I am not the only one! My prompt had more of a ”actor director” flavor. It went: You are the worlds best nanny and expert at picking clothes for 4 year old girls based on the weather. Your answer is concise and to the point. Below is today’s forecast:
