Windows Phone users got Microsoft’s digital voice assistant Cortana with the 8.1 update and the cool new feature is all set to come to Windows users through Windows 10 later this year. Well, if the latest reports are to be believed, the voice assistant isn’t going to be a Windows exclusive.

Reportedly, Microsoft might bring Cortana
to the two big wigs of the mobile industry – Android and iOS. The
report comes from Reuters, who interviewed Eric Horvitz, managing
director of Microsoft Research and according to whom, Cortana will be
receiving a major update later this year and it might spread its wings
to reach more platforms like iOS and Android. The digital voice
assistant might arrive as a standalone app on other platforms but we are
not really how well they will be integrated on the likes of iOS and
Android.
The next update of Cortana is
codenamed Project Einstein and it will come with the ability to
understand mails and the voice assistant will perform even more
automated tasks. Reportedly, the Redmond giant wants more people to use
its digital voice assistant, so that its artificial intelligence
services get better with more use.
Ever
since Satya Nadella took over as Microsoft’s CEO, we have seen the
company bring out some awesome apps and services to all platforms, so
this doesn’t really come as a surprise.
