Called Assignable Reminders, the latest Google Assistant feature will let you assign reminders to friends and family with just a voice command.

People on your Family group and accounts linked to a Nest or Google Hub device will automatically be able to assign reminders to each other.

You can even check on the reminders you’ve assigned someone with commands like, “Hey Google, show me my reminders for Claire.”
