Scam? Duplex worked.

I thought it was announced and never heard from again. It may have worked but it never shipped did it?

I made some restaurant reservations, it worked.

I see, I guess it was never a standalone product then, from reading a Reddit post, it’s a feature built into assistant. Thanks, solves a mystery for me.

It was never real. They even admitted they used real people for the service. It was a scam.

Also, that would be quite hard to pull today, 2025, after transformers etc. There's absolutely no chance they were sitting on that back in 2018.

I doesn't work today, let alone 6 years ago.

But good work defending your master.
