As a part of the collective Google Gemini and Assistant experience, customers have been in a position to set duties and reminders for some time now. Nevertheless, one annoying side of the expertise was the lack so as to add a activity with out the date or time, as reported by Android Police and APKMirror founder Artem Russakovskii again in June. Fortunately, Google seems to have quietly patched this bug.
In an replace to the late June publish on X/Twitter, Artem points out that date and time are now not required to set reminders. Beforehand, refusing to present a timeline for the reminder or activity meant it would not get created in any respect.

A extra refined Duties expertise in Gemini
The function seems to be broadly obtainable, as I used to be in a position to replicate the performance in Gemini. All it’s good to do is pull up Gemini and ask it to set a reminder for xyz, which can create the reminder within the background, after which ask if you wish to set a date and time. Additionally, you will discover a Job created message instantly after the primary command (pictured above), which incorporates a handy Undo button that permits you to cancel the duty.

It is unclear when this tweak went reside, however we presume it was enabled as a part of an replace not too way back. It will go a great distance in enhancing the reminders and duties expertise within the Gemini app, which is slowly catching as much as Assistant, with some distance still to cover.
