Pebble Index & Google Tasks: Reminder times are not getting set

Product Feedback
1

I have my Index set to send reminders and tasks to Google Tasks. Any time I create a reminder with a time using my Pebble Index, the time never gets set in Google Tasks.

The day gets set for the reminder, but that means I never get a notification for it because the day-only reminder (for “Today”) would only fire off at midnight today I assume, so users never get notified for something set in the past.

Simple things like “Remind me to call Bob at 5pm”, the time gets dropped. The agent picked up the time in the transcribed text, so I’m not sure if this is a failure of the agent + MCP with Google Tasks under the hood, or if Google Tasks is broken perhaps.

Any help would be appreciated! I’m getting a little tired of fixing reminders manually every time. It defeats the purpose of having the ring at all.

That’s a known limitation documented in the FAQsalthough I haven’t been able to find out why it doesn’t work (search for: “Google Tasks isn’t accepting times for reminders”).

Ah good to know, I should’ve checked there.

Sounds like Google’s MCP / API is busted for that use case.

Your comment made me check and there’s an issue open with Google for adding those fields to the tasks API since 2020: Google Issue Tracker
