Microsoft continues betting on Cortana and launches an independent application to the Windows 10 store David Onieva

For some time, digital voice assistants that part of the big technology firms have been launched for their customers, products and platforms, have been growing exponentially, both in quantity and functionality, although some proposals with more success than others .

One of them is the one offered by the software giant, Microsoft with Cortana, an intelligent assistant that we can find as part of one of the star products of the firm itself, we refer to Windows 10. Of course, seen the seen and in Based on the latest movements that the company based in Redmond has been giving these months ago, it seems that Microsoft wants to strengthen even more and try to get its assistant to everyone, just as they are doing with their own proposals, signatures like Google, Apple or Amazon.

It should be said that these companies that we mentioned, giants of the size of Google or Amazon, are taking their own digital assistants to all types of devices to help in the day-to-day life of users. In parallel, what Microsoft intends with Cortana, something that has given much evidence, is to bring its assistant to consumer-oriented products, something for which its operating system, Windows 10, is very important.

In fact and to highlight all this, it has just been announced that Microsoft itself is beginning to make available to everyone a new application belonging to the aforementioned Cortana assistant, all available in the official Windows 10 store, the Microsoft Store We can also verify that this new UWP app comes with a label that shows that it is a Beta version, which makes us indicate that its development is being carried out independently from that of Windows 10 updates.

Microsoft does not give up with Cortana and launches a standalone UWP application
This is a somewhat significant fact because it is possibly going to allow the Redmond firm to launch updates and improvements for the aforementioned Cortana assistant with a faster rate than before, all not depending directly on those that reach the whole set of Windows 10

Of course, it should be borne in mind that this Beta version of Cortana is in full development at the moment, so the functionality that it presents at the moment is very limited, although it is expected that it will increase with the passage of time. Thus, users who wish to take a look at this new app independent of the Microsoft assistant, can do so from here, provided they have a Windows 10 version 18362.0 or higher installed on their compatible computers.

In this way, this step could be considered as a movement of the Redmond firm to promote and ensure that Cortana continues to grow, just as the rest of the firms are doing with their proposals of this type.
