Microsoft is working on a version of its advanced digital personal assistant Cortana, which can be used with voice commands and is available for mobile phones with Windows for about a year. The new version will integrate Windows 10, with arrival scheduled for this autumn, then it is expected that Cortana have a mobile application version for smartphone and tablets iOS and Android.

                     


                          The plan to put Cortana on devices from rival companies, in this case Apple and Google, as well as the updating of personal assistant has not been confirmed by Microsoft publicly, but according to sources close to the project Einstein not identified by Reuters, Microsoft is working in both tasks.

The Cortana digital assistant is one of the great new features of Windows 10. In a statement in January this year, the vice president Microsoft, Joel Belfiore showed how the wizard was able to answer the questions of what appeared to be a casual conversation, to show a weather forecast Belfiore when asked if he would need a coat, and came, unbidden, with additional information on the restaurant whose website Belfiore was to consult.

It is not certain that the Cortana reach the Portuguese market. The mobile version was only released in the US, China and the UK, and versions for Spain, France, Italy and Germany are still at an early stage of testing.

Inspired by the female character artificial intelligence of the video game Halo Xbox, Cortana receives instructions via voice command to search the Internet in smartphone , create data in the user’s calendar, set alarms, send messages, initiate calls in time or scheduled or open Facebook or Twitter.

The personal digital assistant can anticipate the user’s needs through the operations it has performed and the information contained in your email or contact list. From a kind of history that is being created with its use, Microsoft indicates that the system response is getting better.

Your Google rivals Apple and anticipated in launching similar products, with Android devices to use Google Now and Siri iOS to offer.
