Tom Warren took a look at some of the features which will no doubt soon be emulated across platforms and guide the development of personal digital assistants:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cortana comes with a notebook that shows all the information that Cortana knows about you. A user can add, modify, or delete her memory by going into the notebook and modifying its contents.<\/li>\n<li>It provides proactive alerts. When it figures out your favourite sports team it&#8217;ll let you know when they score or win. If it sees you&#8217;re in a new country it&#8217;ll automatically give you weather and currency notifications.<\/li>\n<li>You can also insert triggers into Cortana. You can ask it to remind you to ask about a friend&#8217;s father the next time you talk to them. If you call, email, or text them it&#8217;ll then give you that reminder.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s educated on the finer points of grammar. If you ask for the &#8216;best restaurant near me&#8217; it&#8217;ll give you only one nearby well rated restaurant unlike its competitors. To see a list of all the good restaurants close by you can ask for &#8220;best restaurant<span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">s<\/span> near me&#8221;.<\/li>\n<li>Over time Cortana will build a social map of those closest to you. It can also be set to identify your quiet times where only the people closest to you are allowed to reach you.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Read more about its features over <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2014\/4\/2\/5570866\/cortana-windows-phone-8-1-digital-assistant\">here<\/a>, and find out what happens when you ask who Cortana&#8217;s father is, how you can get it to address you as Master Chief, and how this all ties back to Bing.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2014\/4\/2\/5570866\/cortana-windows-phone-8-1-digital-assistant\">The Verge<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday Microsoft announced Cortana for Windows Phones, its own Halo-inspired response to Siri and Google Now.
