Microsoft sees the application as a sort of extension of her resources to all compatible devices.
Although it can already perform a number of functions on your smartphone, the Cortana does not have full access to the Android. But you can already say “Hey Cortana” to start the application – the command is equivalent to the traditional “OK Google”. With it you will not be able to open applications through the wizard, or even make configuration changes. Until then, these advanced features are only available to Cortana on PCs with Windows 10.
If you currently are a user of Windows 10, you should already know the benefits of Cortana. The Android app is the perfect companion for your PC with Windows 10, extending the functionality of the wizard on any device that you carry wherever you go.

Microsoft also reiterated today that it is working on a version of Cortana for iOS, but it is unclear when they will offers -la.
