These are the changes that Cortana has experienced in her turn to the professional field

A few days ago we saw how Microsoft changed course with Cortana. Microsoft's personal assistant said goodbye to iOS and Android and focused its future on the professional market and on integration into the applications that make up Office 365. New times for an assistant who has fallen far behind the competition.

This change does not mean that Cortana is going to remain stuck in no man's land and for this reason Microsoft continues to update her assistant within the Insider Program and adding changes and improvements As they themselves state on their blog, Cortana is evolving from a general digital assistant to a personal productivity assistant. And as a result of these changes, they add a series of changes with the aim that Cortana collaborates to manage tasks and time.

Cortana evolves

Cortana has been adding improvements aimed at making it easier to use and from Microsoft and so that it doesn't seem like Cortana's hours are numbered, they have listed the news that Cortana has been nourished in its turn to professional environments:

• First of all they mention how Cortana has been separated from the taskbar, so now you can resize Cortana like any other application.
"
• It has made it easier to configure the default input to Cortana through Settings > Talk to Cortana so that we can choose whether to interact through speech or writing."
• Enhanced email integration, allowing you to use Cortana to create and view emails
• Calendar integration has been improved and Cortana now allows you to create and view meetings:
• Cortana in Windows 10 allows use to open apps and adjust settings:
• There have been significant accessibility improvements, making Cortana easier for everyone to use.
• Organized Cortana support for connecting accounts and now personal and work accounts are two separate account-based experiences with which you log in. If you sign in with a Microsoft account, you interact with your personal account, while if you sign in with a work or school account, Cortana will work with that.

"
• For those who are concerned about privacy, they detail that the chat history will be kept on the local device, and if you use a personal Microsoft account, the data will still be visible in the Microsoft Privacy Dashboard."
• While productivity skills are being improved, we have temporarily removed some Cortana skills that could be tried on Windows Insiders. This is the case of Bing instant replies, timers or light conversations with the assistant.

We don't know if Cortana will end up being as popular as Siri, Alexa or Google Assistant. At Microsoft they know that the competition is tough and this move looking for a new market niche to settle in may be the last attempt to keep Cortana afloat.
