Changes we're making to Google Assistant

I second this. My two other derived commands I use every day are “remind in 2 hours to do X” or “remind me Friday at 7 to take Y”. This and “timer X minutes”.

I would be very sad if these were to disappear or to stop working as well as it does now (I like that if I say “remind me tomorrow” when it’s right past midnight it asks for confirmation that I actually mean the same day since it’s “already tomorrow”)

My Google Home - Lenovo Smart Clock just says "I'll remind you today at $TIME".

The device is out of support, it has its glitches (e.g. it's still able to play and pause podcasts, but after pausing it would say "Sorry. something's gone wrong", if asking it to snooze an alarm it would say "OK, alright" and then "snoozing for 10 minutes"), looking forward (not!) to Google making a breaking change and it being e-waste soon.

Hah, in the imaginary future where we have cyborg assistants instead of climate destruction, my robot butler will pour half a cup of tea, go back to the kitchen, and then return to pour the second half of the cup, and I'll tell my guest, "Yeah, it's a 5 year old model, the startup that made him went bust so I'm using a firmware from a Ukranian forum... Джевс, можна мені трохи цукру?"
