Have you ever found a way to make reminders in Tasks through Google Assistant actually work? When they switched from the Assistant reminders to Tasks, they became so unreliable at showing at the specified time (i.e. "remind me to do ___ at 3pm") that I can't use them anymore.

Ever since that switch, I've just straight up used a discord bot. Hasn't failed me yet!

You might be on to something there; I'll have to give that a look!

I don’t really use Tasks from Assistant, more from manually creating them through calendar and emails. I do use Assistant for simple timers and I don’t seem to see them in Tasks?

[–] captainsiscold@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that seems to be a common theme. Creating timers from Assistant still works fine, but anything with Assistant that has to go through Tasks is basically broken :(
