The latest update to Google Assistant is adding a new feature that will allow users to assign reminders to their family members. Called ‘Assignable Reminders’, the new functionality will help families and housemates better collaborate and stay organized while at home or on the go, said Google.
To assign a reminder, all one needs to do is issue the ‘remind’ command with the name of the family member after the ‘Hey Google’ keyword. For example, one can say “Hey Google, remind Greg to take out the trash at 8pm”. The feature will also work for location-based reminders with a specific address or landmark, which means reminders can be scheduled for any time a person reaches a particular location.
