The announcement comes shortly after Microsoft revealed its forthcoming AI-powered Windows Copilot feature.
Microsoft announces that it is killing off its productivity assistant, Cortana, in Windows later this year. While users will no longer have access to Cortana in Windows, Microsoft says the helpful assistant will still be available to use in other capacities, such as Outlook Mobile.
The announcement that Cortana is leaving Windows comes shortly after Microsoft launched its Bing chatbot earlier this year, and revealed its upcoming Windows Copilot feature at its Build conference. Copilot is a centralized AI assistance tool for Windows that will stay consistent across all open apps, programs, and windows, making it available to act as a personal assistant.
