'Okay Google, talk to Quire!'

Last updated: July 22, 2026

TL;DR

Quire once worked with Google Assistant: you said "Ok Google, talk to Quire" and added a task by voice, with the due date spoken in plain language. New tasks landed in My Tasks, and you could transfer them to a project later. Google has since retired the platform this ran on, so the flow no longer works, but the idea, capture by voice, sort later, is still how good task capture feels.

Heads up: Google has retired the Conversational Actions platform that this "talk to Quire" voice integration was built on, so the "Ok Google, talk to Quire" flow described below no longer works. We're keeping this post as a record of how it worked. To capture tasks on the go today, use the Quire mobile app.

Obviously no one wants to manually type in the task anymore, the 21st century is all about automation, AI and voice recognition. After Siri integration, now Android users can talk to Quire using Google Assistant. Let’s have a conversation starting with “Okay Google”!

You can basically ask Google Assistant to help you get anything done, hands-free. No matter if you’re driving on the highway, running errands or watching movies, you can keep track of your task list or capture the task that comes to your mind without opening the Quire mobile app.

At the moment, you can start a conversation with Quire using Google Assistant by using one of these following statements:

Voice was an early bet on where input was heading. Statista reports that mobile devices now drive the majority of the world's web traffic, and hands-free capture was one attempt to meet people where they already were: on the move, phone in hand.

  • Ok, Google, let me talk to Quire
  • Ok, Google, talk to Quire

Then, just simply say what you want Quire to help you with:

  • Remind me to [task name]
  • Add a task to [task name] [due date]

You can get creative and set the due dates in any format that you would like. Quire will recognize the date format and help you create a task and add all the details later. For example, Quire understands “three days from now”, “next Wednesday”, “at 10pm on next Friday”! Impressed, yes?

Also, in case you’re wondering, all of the new tasks will be added to My Tasks as “personal tasks”. If you don’t know what personal tasks are, visit our guide to learn more about your private tasks!

You can also transfer the newly added tasks to a certain project using Transfer function!

How did the Quire Google Assistant integration work?

For the record, here is how the voice flow worked while it was live.

StepWhat happened
Start the conversationSay "Ok, Google, talk to Quire"
Add a task by voiceAsk Quire to remind you or add a task, with a spoken due date
Where it landedNew tasks went to My Tasks as personal tasks
Move it laterTransfer a task to a specific project with the Transfer function

Google retired its Conversational Actions platform, so this specific integration no longer works. If you want hands-free capture today, the modern path is your phone's built-in dictation or a mobile shortcut into the Quire app. The principle has not changed though: the fastest task is the one you catch the second you think of it, before the idea evaporates. Voice was one way to close that gap, and the goal outlives the tool.
