A new update to Google Home is sure to take your "Top Friends" to "No Friends" in one week. 

After an upcoming update, Google Assistant will be able to send reminders to friends and family to accomplish a specific task. 

Can you send a reminder to anyone? Like that one friend who never pays you back? Unfortunately no.

This person has to be someone in your Google Contacts and, beyond that, they either have to be in your Google family group (which is limited to six people) or have their account linked to the Assistant-equipped IoT gadget you’re using at home. You can't send everyone in your contacts a reminder to do something—just people you’re close with or live in close quarters with.
