I've been immensely frustrated by no longer being able to set reminders by voice. I got so used to saying "remind me in an hour to do x" and now that's just entirely not an option.
I'm a very forgetful person and easily distracted. This feature was incredibly valuable to me.
I got Gemini Pro (or whatever it's called) for free for a year on my new Pixel phone, but there's an option to keep Assistant, which I'm using.
Gotta love the enshittification: "new and better" being more CPU cycles being burned for a worse experience.
I just have a shortcut to the Gemini webpage on my home screen if I want to use it, and for some reason I can't just place a shortcut (maybe it's my ancient launcher that's not even in the play store anymore), so I have to make a tasker task that opens the webpage when run.
