Work Assistant
Although Microsoft is making an effort to show the capabilities and innovations it is preparing for its new platform Windows 10, users of devices Lumia and Windows Phone in general they are not entirely happy. And it is that the applications of Office or the renewed mail and calendar tool ofOutlook are now available for Android and iOS, leaving their own terminals to one side.Something that they already have to put up with from other companies, but not from their own. However, it seems that Microsoft is up to something more important and useful for its Windows Phone
The application would have a lot to do with it Work Assistant A tool that is available in the store Windows Phone Store, but not available to all users. In fact, according to the medium ZDNet, it would be an important internal application intended to improve tasks related to the office tools of Microsoft Office More specifically, to introducing the Cortana assistant within these applications Something that could offer numerous extra services to users of Windows Phone and on which project Bill Gates himself, who was once , could be working. creator and president of Microsoft.
For now, the Work Assistant application would work as an intermediate toolthat would allow that Personal Agent (name of the project mentioned by Bill Gates himself) to perform complex tasks related to documents and Office files Or at least, according to the words of Bill Gates on the forum Reddit , would offer help to the user to retrieve content or point out points of interest for the user. A Personal Agent that would not be limited to working on any of the platforms for which Windows 10 will be available, and would use Work Assistant to interact with mobiles
Now then A Personal Assistant? And what about Cortana? Apparently, the project Personal Agent could well be part of a strategy to improveitself CortanaProof of this would be the demonstration at the last Windows 10 event, where the possibility of asking this wizard to recover was demonstrated a slideshow stored in the OneDrive cloud A full interaction between Office documents, commands by voice and the operating system Windows 10 In this way, it would be understood that Work Assistant could be an intermediate tool that offers Cortana abilities through voice commands to work and manage with the new Office applications coming to Lumia and all other terminals Windows Phone
At the moment little else is known about these projects that Microsoft is working on, nor about that mysterious application Work Assistant There will be So what to expect to see the progress of the company and its personal assistantsAnd it seems that the future of interaction involves having help that remembers everything that the user cannot, and also performs all kinds of tasks with simple voice commands. A very interesting proposal.
