What does Windows 10 have something called c0rtana?

Cortana (artificial intelligence assistant developed by Microsoft)

Cortana (Chinese name: Microsoft Cortana) is the world's first personal intelligent assistant released by Microsoft.

At 2:00 pm on July 30, 2014, Beijing time, Microsoft held a Windows Phone 8.1 Update China conference in Beijing, officially releasing the Chinese version of Cortana and naming it "Microsoft Cortana".

On the evening of August 4, 2014, the WP8.1GDR1 developer preview version was updated, and the Chinese version of Cortana "Cortana" was officially launched. The image of Microsoft Cortana in China is a cute little dough.

It "can understand users' preferences and habits" and "help users with scheduling, answering questions, etc." Cortana can be said to be Microsoft’s attempt in the field of machine learning and artificial intelligence.

The following are the functions and corresponding descriptions of Cortana:

Chat function: tell a joke, idiom solitaire, tell a story, sing a song, imitate Song Xiaobao

Communication function: call mom, send text message to dad

Reminder function: remind me to go to my uncle’s house at 12:00, change the schedule from 12:00 to 18:00

Entertainment functions: play music, today's hot movies, "A Dream of Red Mansions", celebrity Weibo

Transportation functions: where am I, how to get to the square, nearby restaurants, and the last number of today's traffic restriction

Query functions: today's weather, will Qantas flights be delayed, translate my name in English, the country with the largest land area in the world, this year's Spring Festival holiday schedule, today's information, double color ball, lottery

Summon Xiaoice: Summon Xiaoice

Bing Meitu: Bing Meitu

The above are the basic functions of Cortana. In addition to these functions, Cortana also has other new skills, many of which are thoughtful, such as Christmas specials, New Year specials, Lantern Festival specials, etc.

Intelligent information push

Cortana's central information storage is named "Notebook", which will save the user's location, personal information, calendar, and contact information, etc., based on the notebook Cortana will push the right content to users at the right time and place. After using it for a period of time, Cortana will learn more and more about the user's behavioral habits and make intelligent recommendations in a more personalized way. But there will also be powerful privacy features that allow users to set the permissions, storage location, and even edit notebooks directly on Cortana notebooks. For example, users can set Cortana to observe emails, text messages, etc., so that Cortana will automatically add reminders for meetings, reservations, etc. based on the text.

Third-party services

In addition to local data and Bing, Cortana will also access third-party services, such as Foursquare and WeChat. If Microsoft takes the initiative and opens third-party application and service interfaces from the beginning, Cortana will be far ahead of Siri and Google Now.

On December 14, 2016, Microsoft announced in San Francisco that it would open Cortana to third-party hardware companies so that it can be integrated into a variety of hardware, such as speakers, cars, and home appliances.

Language support

Cortana supports multiple languages, including Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese for Hong Kong and Taiwan. Others include English (US), English (UK), English (India), German, Spanish, Mexican (Spanish), French, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Brazilian (Portuguese), and Russian. Compared with Siri and Google Now, Cortana will support Chinese in the first version, which is very advantageous.
