Microsoft's 'Cortana' - its personal digital assistant - made a brief, unofficial 'debut' companyς, που φιλοδοξεί να αποτελέσει «απάντηση» στο Siri της Apple και το Google Now
Cortana, named after Artificial Intelligence-comrade Master Chief, the protagonist of Microsoft's popular Halo series, appears in a two-minute video posted on YouTube by UnleashThePhones.com, but it does not sound the voice of the system.
As reported in a Zdnet publication, the "real" Cortana, like the game's artificial intelligence, will be able to "learn" and adapt, thanks to machine learning technology and the Satori upgrade found in the machine search by Microsoft, Bing. It will be one of the new features of Windows Phone 8.1 and, as seen in the video, it will require signing up with a Microsoft Account to use the service. Pressing the search button with Bing will bring up Cortana as the default search engine on the phone.
Σε πρώτο επίπεδο, το σύστημα κάνει ερωτήσεις στον χρήστη σχετικά με το όνομα/ nickname και άλλες προpricewhile prompting him to ask test questions and assign test "missions" (e.g. waking up at a certain time). According to Zdnet, Cortana is expected to be a key part of the renewal (in terms of services and experience) of Microsoft's operating systems, from Windows to Xbox One. It is noted that Cortana first became known to the public last year, when an employee of Microsoft has dropped a Windows Phone 8.1 phone (about which very little has been revealed). According to a report by TheVerge, it is intended to replace the built-in Bing feature, and will have its own "personality", displaying "emotions" depending on the tasks assigned to it. In addition to Bing, it will also be supported by Foursquare and other services.
At its core - according to TheVerge - there will be the Notebook: a feature that will allow the user to fully control the data he shares with his digital "helper". As stated, it is designed to ensure that Cortana will not have access to information freely, without the user's control: while "learning" things for the user, it will not store them in the Notebook without asking him. In addition, the data stored in it can be deleted.
