I like the voice "Ivy" from Amazon's Polly.

It sounds a little bit like the voice of a moppet-type character from League of Legends that just huffed helium. Because it is so stylized you don't have the problem of a "perfect english gentleman" who pauses unnaturally, sometimes makes vowels like T-Pain, etc. that you have with more realistic voices.

It definitely comes across as female to me, but it is cartoony enough that it not so culturally coded as female -- so there is less of a sense of "female servicing" as there is with most voice assistants.

Decepticons, attack!

Although these are gimmicky the sort of route of approaching the problem from what would a machine or non-human AI voice sound like would actually get you the goal of a Genderless Voice.

As it stands Q isn't genderless it's just gender non-conforming, which is a great alternative but I'd like to see some work into an actual "AI" voice rather than these voice assistants that try to imitate a human on the gender spectrum.

+1 for whisper.

My brain has no trouble wrapping around the genderlessness of the voice Colossus from The Forbin Project:

A non-human voice is a valid goal, but a human non-gendered voice is a different thing.

Please recognise that agender people are both human and genderless.
