Facebook could soon integrate a company-branded voice assistant into its home hardware.

CNBC reported that a Facebook team based in Washington state working on long-term tech projects and hardware, like the Oculus AR headset, is developing an AI-powered voice assistant similar to Alexa, Siri, and Bixby.

The information came from two former employees who also claimed that Facebook has been working on this AI project since early last year.
