                Good Morning Alex! It's {info['current_time'].strftime('%H:%M')} am, and here's your morning update.
                The current temperature is {info['temperature']}°F with a humidity of {info['humidity']}%.
                As for the weather, it's {info['description']}.

                Also, a quick project update - you've completed {round(info['deadline_progress']*100,2)}% 
                of your {project_name} project. I think ur falling behind a little ... you better start working or
                you won't finish on time.
