Hey Mercedes Smart Search beta ending

I received a notice that the Hey Mercedes Smart Search beta is being discontinued in December. Although it's not crucial to the working of my GLC, I did find it entertaining and sometimes useful for answering random questions. My kids loved it because my car knew "everything" that they asked.

Does anyone know if it's being transitioned past the beta stage, and will still be available in some form? It's not crucial, but I will miss it if it's permanently discontinued. Thanks!

Interesting but I wonder if that means the release version is coming out replacing the beta, and not the entire project thrown out? Google is known to kill projects, I don't think Mercedes is: https://killedbygoogle.com/

2020 GLC300 touring version (but I miss my '93 300SE W140 tank)
I got an email from mbusa yesterday stating the same thing. Ours never worked anyway, SIRI is far better.
