We already have them. I'm agender and I'm typing this from my workplace (during lunch).
The response to this AI voice demonstrates that a lot of people automatically hear any human(ish) voice as either female or male, one or the other. Similarly, people automatically recognise individuals as either female or male, one or the other. There's a very narrow band of presentation that won't be read automatically as one of those two options.
See how difficult it is to stop your brain from making automatic (possibly false) assumptions.
To be honest I don't understand what being agender means. I respect whatever presentation and choices you make for yourself even if I don't understand it.
I just don't think things having gendered presentation is an issue. There are many languages with a female sun, male moon, female Earth, male oceans, and so on.
I don't think making assumptions that are true of the vast majority is necessarily wrong. What's wrong is reacting negatively and rejecting someone like yourself who doesn't wish to participate in the concept of gender, and that's cool, but communication based on gender is still efficient in most cases.
