This is the best summary I could come up with:

Google has laid off a handful of employees who worked on its voice assistant, Insider has learned.

The total number of affected employees could not be learned, but the internal document claimed up to 20 individual contributors were laid off.

The document is compiled by employees and collates information posted internally and externally about job cuts.

Google previously announced its plans to overhaul its Assistant with features powered by generative AI, some of which have begun rolling out.

In August, the company said it would eliminate "a small number" of roles as part of the renewed focus.
