But did you know that you can set reminders on your Google Home?

Set a reminder using “remember”
To set a reminder, say “Hey Google, remind me to [task] at [time].”
Remembering a task with Google Home is easy. Just say “remember” and add whatever you want! For example:
“Remember to buy milk.” (This will be added as an event)
“Remind me once an hour for 30 minutes.” (This will be added as an event)
Set a reminder using the Google Home app
To set a reminder, open the Google Home app on your phone. Tap the menu button, then tap Settings.
Next to Reminders, tap Add reminder. If you don’t see this option yet, scroll down and tap “More.”
Type or say what you want to be reminded of in the search bar at the bottom of this screen.
Then choose whether to have Google Assistant remind me when I’m home (this is called “When I leave”) when my next appointment starts (this is called “At work”) or both at once by tapping Next > At work then choosing between them as appropriate under When leaving/at work.
You can also choose whether or not there should be an icon displayed in my Day view so I know which reminders have been added; if so select “Show Icon” before saving your changes
Set a reminder using Google Assistant on your phone or tablet
To set a reminder on your Google Home, you’ll need to open up the Google Assistant on your phone or tablet.
Then, tap the blue circle in the right-hand corner of the screen and select Reminders (it looks like a blue circle).
You can also tap “Reminders” from within any app that supports reminders.
This will bring you to another screen where all of your app’s reminders are listed by date and time. If there are no existing ones listed in this view, then go ahead and create one!
Once you’ve created a new item for yourself, tap on its title bar so that it highlights red before tapping “Add.”
You’ll see an option for adding more details if needed; otherwise just proceed with creating or editing whatever else might need modifying as well (e.g., changing who gets notified about this upcoming event/task).
Once everything looks good enough for us (or not), simply hit the checkmark icon next to each item’s name once complete – we’ll let them know they’ve been scheduled correctly soon enough!
