I've used Automate App (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.llamalab.a...) to set my android phone to silent mode in office and loud at home based on the wifi ssid.

For those on iOS, built-in Shortcuts app can do this as well.
That Google/Android tracks everywhere I go, sends me an email at the end of the month about it, and still can't silent/remind when I get into proximity of a location bugs the shit out of me.

That tracking that's so profitable for them is an afterthought when it comes to my own convenience.

I mean, Google Assistant absolutely supports location reminders. Just ask "remind me <x> when I get to work" and it'll... mostly work. Sometimes it's a bit late, but it mostly works. For silent, I think that'd be more of a Tasker/Automate thing, like OP.
Makes sense I missed it then, I hate using the assistant. It feels like asking someone else to scratch my nose.
Oh! I did not know that Google Assistant can do that. Thanks a lot. Will try it for sure. #TIL
I’ll checkout automate.. have used Tasker in the past.
