It certainly feels like voice assistants are everywhere these days, with Apple, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft all offering their own.
At one point, even Roku said it was working on its own voice assistant, but that announcement came way back in January 2018.
If you’ve been wondering what’s up with Roku’s voice assistant, you definitely aren’t alone, but today we’re receiving some disappointing news on that front.
Roku has confirmed that it has canceled its planned voice assistant.
The news comes in a hefty profile on the company from The Wall Street Journal.
We don’t really learn why the voice assistant has been cancelled, with a spokesperson from the company simply confirming to WSJ that it’s no longer in the works.
