Say Hello to Microsoft’s Answer to Siri
Microsoft’s new personal assistant includes features found in Apple and Google’s own virtual helpers.

A virtual assistant that understands voice commands and learns about its owner is at the heart of a new version of Microsoft’s mobile operating system, announced today at the company’s annual conference for software developers in San Francisco.

Like Siri for iOS devices and Google Now for Android phones, Cortana can answer spoken questions like “How old is Barack Obama”; and it can act on commands such as “Wake me up at 7 a.m. tomorrow.” However, in a demonstration of the app given at Microsoft’s Build conference, Cortana appeared to be more closely integrated with other functions and apps on a device than its competitors. Unlike Siri and Google Now, it is possible for developers to write apps that can be controlled using Cortana.

Cortana appears to combine design features of Apple and Google’s own virtual assistants. Cortana is similar to Siri in that you are encouraged to address the app as if it really had a personality of its own (see “Social Intelligence”). Joe Belfiore, vice president of Microsoft’s operating system group, consistently referred to Cortana as “she” and “her,” and he showed the app making wisecracks when asked personal questions like “Hey, Cortana, what do you think of your name?” Cortana replied: “It’s certainly more attractive than Microsoft Windows personal digital assistant Service Pack 1 2014.”

Kas läheb samamoodi nagu Halo seerias, et pärast teatud aega (7 aastat IIRC) hakkab AI taandarenema/surema?
