Cortana
Cortana is an intelligent virtual assistant for the Windows Phone 8.1 operating system, available on an opt-in basis. Its name comes from Cortana, the artificial intelligence character from the Halo series, with Jen Taylor, the character's voice actress, returning her voice to the personal assistant. Cortana was first demonstrated by Microsoft's corporate vice president, Joe Belfiore, at the Microsoft BUILD Developer Conference (April 2-4, 2014) in San Francisco, USA. It was launched as a key ingredient in Microsoft's planned "overhaul" of future operating systems for Windows Phone, Windows, and Xbox One. It is currently available to all Windows Phone 8.1 users in the United States as a beta version, and will be released to all WP8.1 users worldwide in late 2014 and early 2015. On January 21, 2015, Microsoft announced the arrival of Cortana for computers running Windows 10.
