Google Assistant is sex doc lakilling off a bunch of its capabilities. The tech giant said it would stop supporting 17 "underutilized features."
Several of these features that'll no longer be supported feel quite useful, including sending a message with your voice or setting alarms on Assistant-enabled devices. The company said it was "making a few changes to focus on quality and reliability" in Assistant, but it's clear this is part of a shift in priorities.
Here is the full list of defunct features, via Google.
Playing and controlling audiobooks on Google Play Books with your voice. You can still cast audiobooks from your mobile device.
Setting or using media alarms, music alarms, or radio alarms on Google Assistant enabled devices. You can create a custom Routine that has similar behavior or use a standard alarm.
Accessing or managing your cookbook, transfering recipes from device to device, playing an instructional recipe video, or showing step-by-step recipes. You can use Google Assistant to search for recipes across the web and YouTube.

There have been a lot of recent changes at the search giant. Google announced this week that it laid off hundreds of workers from its Assistant unit, among other cuts. All of these major changes come, of course, amid its increasing focus on Bard, its AI chatbot.
Assistant's future appears to be inextricably tied to Bard. AI is coming down the pike, whether we like it or not.
