This will actually be solved in a week. All it takes is to add the current time to each input.

Knowing what time it is now, and telling the user the timer has completed, are two separate things.

How useful is a “oh by the way your timer ended three hours ago” tacked on to the end of the next interaction?

How about making it prompt itself when the timer ends? That solves "BTW it ended"

In the video, ChatGPT was actually being used as a stopwatch instead of a countdown timer.
