Googles AI assistants are currently experiencing issues with their reminder-setting feature.
Users are unable to create reminders without specifying a time, which was previously possible.
You can still create reminders manually without a time; the issue is arising when using AI assistants.
Google is gradually nudging us toward accepting Gemini (https://www.androidauthority.com/what-is-google-gemini-3331678/) as a potential replacement for Google Assistant (https://www.androidauthority.com/gemini-vs-google-assistant-3429348/). You can now set Gemini as your default assistant, and Google has been busy adding familiar Assistant features to it, like the ability to set reminders. However, Geminis reminder-setting feature seems to have encountered a stumbling block.
Tech expert Artem Russakovskii recently highlighted the issue on X/Twitter (https://x.com/ArtemR/status/1805277759914291558), reporting that both Gemini and Google Assistant are no longer able to create reminders without specifying a time.

Before, you could simply ask Google Assistant to remind you of something, and it would add a task to Google Tasks without needing a specific time or date. It was great for keeping track of your to-do list without the hassle of setting reminder alerts for everything. You could add a reminder time if you wanted, but it wasnt necessary.
Now, though, it seems that both Google Assistant and Gemini insist on setting a specific time to save a reminder. This problem persisted even when I explicitly requested Gemini to create a task without needing a reminder.
You can still manually add tasks in Google Tasks without a date or time, but when you use Googles assistants to create tasks, they insist on knowing exactly when to remind you.
Lets hope this is just a temporary glitch and not the new normal for how Gemini and Google Assistant handle reminders.
