With the vigorous promotion of AI assistants such as Bing chat, Microsoft announced today that it will end support for the Cortana voice assistant for Windows by the end of the year.
It is learned from Microsoft's official announcement that the Windows standalone application of Cortana voice assistant will stop supporting at the end of the year, and it will not affect other platform versions, such as Outlook mobile version, Teams mobile version, etc.
As early as 2014, Microsoft began testing the Cortana virtual assistant. The name comes from the artificial intelligence in the game "Halo" series, and then Cortana was pre-installed in Windows Phone and Windows 10 systems.
However, with Microsoft's strategic change, Cortana is gradually unbundled from personal user computers and becomes part of the Microsoft 365 office scene.
