According to the Verge, Microsoft is working on a ‘Work Assistant’ which is designed to use cortana to edit, open and share documents using Cortana and Voice commands. This new feature would finally see Cortana debut on iOS and Android.
Business Insider also reports; Microsoft’s Julie Larson-Green confirmed Cortana will make its way to other operating systems, and Office integration is part of a number of plans for the digital assistant.
Microsoft is looking to make its services and apps available on all platforms and the recent release of ‘Office for iOS and Android’ is a testament. It is unknown if Cortana for other platforms would only have basic features or full features.
Microsoft has been working hard on Cortana in recent times; it announced that Windows 10 would get the digital assistant and also the spartan browser.
