Cortana
Cortana is an existing feature on Windows Phone, but now it’s coming to Windows 10. Put simply,
Microsoft wants Cortana to be the first truly personal assistant. It can provide you with traffic updates,
recommend the best places to eat nearby, inform you about the latest news, and much more.
Commands can be spoken or typed to Cortana, like asking for a reminder to be set or to bring up the
weather forecast.

Intriguingly, Microsoft has equipped Cortana with a personality, like being embarrassed if she can’t
answer your question. Accessible from the Taskbar, Cortana is the assistant that will always be around
to lend a hand. If you’ve ever used Siri or Google Now, then you’ll know what to expect. Be sure to
