I couldn't get it to create a reminder for me when I tried the other day.
Worse.
It will fucking lie and say it set a timer or reminder, and if you ask it "wtf" in response when it clearly didn't (if you notice), it'll fucking explain it's just roleplaying at being a voice assistant.
I have a Google Nest speaker in my kitchen and while cooking "Hey Google set a timer for 5 minutes" ... "I cannot do that at this time"
"Ask me again in 5 minutes."
