It has become reasonably OK at setting alarms somewhat recently, unless you don't have Internet, then it is totally fucking useless. Assistant would reliably set alarms, no problem, along with a ton of other useful things like calendar events, reminders, texts, etc.

It would also set alarms without needing an Internet connection. Gemini is vastly inferior to Assistant when it comes to actually doing anything I want it to do.
