Despite the fact that Cortana, its intelligent personal assistant, was demonstrated since April, Microsoft says it is far too early to ponder monetizing her. Yet the company is already planning to scale this virtual assistant across different devices, platforms and around the globe.
Being available as part of the
Windows Phone 8.1 developers’ preview, Cortana is equipped with stunning features
like being able to set reminder, recognizing natural voice, and answering
questions using information from Bing. Unsurprisingly though, she is
overwhelmingly popular in China for the present time.
However, according to Windows
Phone Group Program Manager Marcus Ash, Microsoft wants Cortana to be
“pervasive” — not just at the country/geographic level, but also at a tech
level across different devices and maybe different platforms, as highlighted by
trustworthy Digital Marketing Agency,
thesnsgroup.com.
“We want to scale Cortana internationally
and across devices. The Android/iOS question is interesting…”
“We think we’re in the stage
right now where we have to build trust with the users. We’ll explore
monetization eventually, but Cortana is so nascent. It’s too early…”
