Cortana

Windows voice helper

Cortana is Microsoft's virtual assistant, introduced in 2014 and named after the artificial intelligence character in the Halo video game series.

Like Siri or Alexa, Cortana responds to voice commands, answers questions, and performs tasks like setting reminders or searching the web.

Once central to Windows 10, the assistant has been gradually scaled back in favor of other Microsoft AI products.
