SAN FRANCISCO – the world will soon know more than Cortana, the assistant virtual Microsoft, the company announced Wednesday.

Cortana, which was launched two years ago, is possibly one of the first apps by Microsoft to not only be a universal app for its own platform and its devices but also for all applications and devices already available on the market.

this is because during Build 2016, the developer conference Microsoft taking place this week in the city, the CEO Satya Nadella he announced a new approach to the assistant, so I can help wherever you are and with anything. This would make it through the suite of intelligence Cortana.

The suite intelligence Cortana use Azure cloud to perform its functions, which Microsoft says will include power to integrate third-party apps like WeChat and Telegram. In addition, already integrated, you can communicate and interact with apps, or bots , which offer services within these applications.

The team of programmers Microsoft gave us a hint of what is to Cortana not only within the Microsoft ecosystem, but also outside. According to Microsoft, users and make it a million daily questions to Cortana and there actualmete 1,000 applications that incorporate it.

“Cortana was developed as a native Windows product, but is not limited to Windows” Nadella said. “It is now available for Android and iOS, but to be really useful for you, you have to be in all devices”.

Among the things Cortana soon be able to do, and it made sense that he could do , it is to help users of Xbox one able to search for content, pick them and throw.

Inside a PC, for example, Cortana will be integrated Mail and Outlook calendars to better manage and help users organize your day and answer emails, for example. Since Cortana is available for Android and iOS, the user can give a voice command from the app in these devices and the virtual assistant will run.

In addition, Cortana will also be available to accept voice commands from a PC with the display closed, which is useful for people who can not or wish to enter directly into the computer function.

However, one of the new features of Cortana is its integration with Skype and third-party apps – ie bots – that will be arriving to the social network.

In a demonstration the program manager of Skype, Lilian Rincon, taught how Cortana not only takes dictation voice, but can also use the bots that will appear in the app, to let you book a room in a hotel, ordering food and depending on the context of what you’re doing, connect with other contacts. Skype will Cortana on Windows and Android first, and then iOS.

The update for Cortana come with the update anniversary of Windows 10 and first deployed to 13 countries.
