We might finally know what happened to the Pixel 9's missing 'Pixie' assistant

While the Pixel 9a continues to survive in a delayed state of limbo, we've got our attention turned towards what Google has planned for Pixel 10. A TSMC-manufactured upgrade to Tensor G5 seems like a given, as is Android 16 and plenty of AI tools. We've heard about "Pixel Sense," which, on paper, seemed pretty similar to "Pixie," a rumored Pixel-exclusive AI assistant initially planned to launch with the Pixel 9. Now, with some fresh context, it feels like we're finally getting a broader picture on what happened with Google's missing Pixie, and what it could mean for the Pixel 10.
