[SOFTWARE]Microsoft continues betting on Cortana and launches a separate application to the Windows 10 store

[MRO.YeDrA]

For some time, the digital voice assistants that part of the large technology firms have launched for their clients, products and platforms, have been growing exponentially, both in quantity and functionality, although some proposals are more successful 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. Yes, seen and seen Based on the latest movements that the Redmond-based company has been giving these months ago, it seems that Microsoft wants to enhance even more and try to get its assistant to everyone, just as they are doing with their own proposals, firms like Google, Apple or Amazon.
 

It should be said that these companies that we mentioned to you, giants of the size of Google or Amazon, are bringing their own digital assistants to all kinds of devices to help users on a daily basis. In parallel, what Microsoft intends with Cortana, something that has given much evidence, is to bring its assistant closer 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 assistant Cortana, all available in the official Windows 10 store, the Microsoft Store. In addition, we can verify that this new UWP app comes with a label that shows that it is a Beta version, which indicates that its development is being carried out independently of Windows 10 updates.
Microsoft does not give up with Cortana and launches a separate UWP application

This is a somewhat significant fact because it will possibly allow the Redmond firm to launch updates and improvements for the aforementioned assistant Cortana with a faster cadence than before, all by not directly depending on those that are reaching the entire set of Windows 10.
Of course, it should be borne in mind that this BETA VERSIÓN 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 over time. Thus, users who wish to take a look at this new app independent of the Microsoft wizard, can do so from here, as long as they have WINDOWS 10 VERSIÓN 18362.0 or higher installed on their compatible computers.

In this way, this step could be considered as a movement by the Redmond firm to promote and make Cortana continue to grow, as the rest of the firms are carrying out with their proposals of this type.
