    This has probably saved lots of people from accidentally setting an alarm too far in the future when they meant to set it for the next morning. You may not agree with the choice, but I’m sure this has helped more people than it has annoyed.

    Set a reminder to set yourself an alarm

      The AI should be smarter. “That’s an alarm for Tuesday, right?” is a confirmation it could ask.

          Which is why I don’t feel bad for verbally abusing it when I say “text [name] don’t forget to put those breadsticks away period if you don’t eat them comma I will” and the infernal machine does a google search for that instead sending a text to [name] with the message “Don’t forget to put those breadsticks away. If you don’t eat them, I will.”

          Yeah assistant I wanted to see fuckin reddit threads loosely related to breadsticks and texting, I super didn’t want you to do the thing I explicitly said to do.

              Have you been watching the AI landscape of the past year? It’s moving fast, and I am hoping bard + assistant integration will take things to the next level

                I am talking about true artificial intelligence which is still just a concept and nothing. Pretty sure that’s what the original comment also meant.

        Just do it manually.

        You absolutely can set an alarm for a specific day in google clock version 7.6 from the play store.

        After you set the alarm if you click on it you can give it a name such as “laundry” and set it for a specific day such as “Sunday”

        I have alarms for workdays and alarms for times to take medicine.

        You can set an alarm for a early wake up for a flight time a week ahead of time if you want. The assist is super basic to protect you from doing dumb shit, but you absolutely can do it manually.

        I think my Google Mini does ask? At the least, it confirms, “OK. I’ve set an alarm for $X.”

        You got me thinking, need to experiment a bit.

      Doesn’t that just suggest that the thing doesn’t work right if they have to do this to avoid incorrect settings? I’m pretty sure 100% of people who want to set an alarm this far out but can’t are annoyed.
