No matter how much you try to organize your life, there are some things that might slip through the cracks. But there are some things you cannot afford to (literally) get past you and those are bill payments. Google has now added a very crucial prompt that will tell you what you need to pay, how much you need to pay and when you need to pay them. And all you need is just to have these information on your Gmail and for you to use your best "Ok Google" voice.
Okay, you don't really need to sound great when asking Google. But you do need to have all the necessary information in your email, which we assume most of your bill payments are sent to you electronically. So all you need to do is tell Google to "Show me my bills" or "My bills due this week". If you have all the complete information, like due date, amount due, etc, then it will show you a summary of both the past bills you've paid and the upcoming ones you need to settle.
However, it will not automatically give you a reminder when your bills are due, but you can also use the power of Google to give you a push. Once you have the list of upcoming bills, set a reminder by "Okay Google"-ing again and only then will your forgetful mind be at ease, knowing your virtual assistant will have your back. Or you can also add it to your to-do list of choice, whether it's Evernote, To-doist or your phone's built-in reminders. The other problem is that if your bill is in one of your filters, like promotions or updates, it seems to not be able to detect it. But maybe they'll be able to fix that soon or you can just transfer it to your primary filter.
The important thing is, you can always check with Google Now if you feel like you're forgetting a mortgage payment or a credit card bill. No need to update anything, the power is already in your hands (or rather, your voice).
