If the user specifies a time and date they want a reminder, all of those devices will send an alert. Anything that users ask the voice assistant to remember and remind them about will be available in Google Tasks though on iOS and Android apps, in addition to Google Workspace platforms like Gmail and Drive. You can see an example in the image on the right. The change expands voice control of Tasks by letting Google Assistant users vocally add a task through their phones, as well as smart speakers and displays. Merging the Reminders from Assistant and Calendar onto Tasks should help streamline its function by compiling the access points from voice, web, and mobile apps to Tasks.
The move will also upgrade Reminders, which has sometimes struggled after its initial release in 2017.
Google Assistant and Calendar are combining their Reminder feature and shifting it to the Google Tasks app.
