Can the Gemini assistant set reminders yet? Such a basic function of the old Google assistant and yet Gemini has failed every time I tried it in the past

    It's been abled to set alarms for me haven't tried reminders. I also use it to create events from me on my calendar.

    It connects to my Google home now too, which it wasn't able to do before

    Assistant tasks like this are probably the only semi reasonable LLM use case. If it was less resource intensive anyway
