Tell me if it will rain tomorrow
Each evening at 6:00 PM Minda checks tomorrow’s chance of rain and tells you only when it is above your number. It is a ready-made workflow in Minda Super Intelligence, and you can change any step before you save it. You can run it in the Minda app on your computer or on Minda's cloud under your Minda account.
The computer version runs in the Minda app: Automations → Templates → Tell me if it will rain tomorrow. Minda Super Intelligence for Windows is coming soon.
