Why the downvotes on this? I appreciate the thoughts. I think it's a real shame that Google's assistant isn't available in a desktop client, that can use either text or voice input.

Here you go: https://developers.google.com/actions/tools/web-simulator Okay, not strictly a desktop client, but the same end result.

Similar is available for Alexa.

It might be just a visceral, reflexive reaction to reading "neuralink brain wi-fi device" and then thinking to oneself, "am I really ready to join the Borg collective?"

I mean, it's not a desktop client, but from Android you can use either text or voice for input to Google / the Assistant. I bet from iOS too.
