Microsoft gets ready to say final ‘goodbye’ to its Apple Siri rival, Cortana

Microsoft is discontinuing the Cortana app on Windows later this year. This announcement comes a few days after the introduction of Windows Copilot, an advanced AI assistant powered by OpenAI’s GPT language model.

At the Build conference held in May, Microsoft introduced its latest tool, Windows Copilot, located in the taskbar, right where Cortana used to be, but it can do much more than the old Windows assistant could. Once it is widely available, it will help you with tasks such as summarising content, editing text, making inquiries, and managing your computer’s settings, among other things.

“We are making some changes to Windows that will impact users of the Cortana app. Starting in late 2023, we will no longer support Cortana in Windows as a standalone app
