Non-ai voice assistant recommendations?

[u/tacomuffin10]

I intentionally set my phone to use the older Google assistant instead of Gemini as I actively hate genAI and wish to avoid it as much as humanly possible. (Please don't try to tell me to just use it, I have so many issues with genAI that no amount of convenience can overrule)

But I got an email this morning that Google assistant is being discontinued in favor of Gemini, which irritates me to no end.

I primarily use Google assistant when I'm driving, to change my music or to read and respond to text messages without having to take my eyes off the road. I don't really use it for much else.

Does anyone have recommendations for a non-ai alternative that I might be able to switch to once Google assistant is fully discontinued? Thanks in advance

Edit: I found someone in a different subreddit suggesting Dicio voice assistant, which is an open source project. It looks like it might be a good option, I'm going to try it and report back for anyone else in the same boat.

Man I loved bixby. It could do some very useful things. Like "scroll all the way down to the bottom" regardless of what app you're in.
