With recent events leading to the world\u2019s largest work-from-home shift, we could all use some assistance to stay caught up with work while juggling personal responsibilities. We\u2019re featuring updates available starting today with Cortana, your personal productivity assistant in Microsoft 365, to make it easier to get time back on your busy schedule and focus on what matters.<\/p>\n
Stay on track with Cortana in Windows 10<\/strong>\u2014To help you save time finding what you need and stay focused, we\u2019re releasing a new chat-based Cortana experience in Windows 10<\/a> focused on enhancing your productivity. With this, you can ask Cortana using natural language to quickly check your schedule, connect with people, set reminders, or add tasks in Microsoft To Do. You can also find local information, get definitions, and keep track of the latest news, weather, and finance updates with Bing as a Cortana optional connected service. Simply type or click on the microphone button and speak commands such as \u201cAm I free at 9?\u201d, \u201cFind time with Nestor to talk about the budget,\u201d \u201cJoin my meeting,\u201d \u201cRemind me to review expenses every Friday at 3 PM,\u201d and more. This productivity focused experience is now generally available in English for customers in the United States with the Windows 10 May 2020 update. In the coming months, with regular app updates through the Microsoft Store, we\u2019ll enhance this experience to support wake word invocation and enable listening when you say \u201cCortana,\u201d offer more productivity capabilities such as surfacing relevant emails and documents to help you prepare for meetings, and expand supported capabilities for international users.<\/p>\n
