![]() ![]() Microsoft still sees value in conversational AI and the company is trying to reposition Cortana as an assistant that can improve Microsoft’s enterprise-focused offerings. Other devices like the Cortana-powered GLAS thermostat are also no longer powered by Microsoft’s digital assistant.Ĭortana isn’t completely finished, though. That dream came to an end earlier this month when the first and only Cortana speaker removed Microsoft’s digital assistant. Microsoft had once envisioned a future full of Cortana-powered fridges, toasters, and thermostats. ![]() Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recognized the company’s difficulties in competing with other digital assistants a couple of years ago, revealing that Microsoft no longer saw Cortana as a competitor to Alexa and Google Assistant.

Let's get one thing straight about the folks posting that the volume is too low on these things: there's something about the Beoplay app that, when used to pair the earbuds, messes with the max volume to where they sound terribly quiet. “As we announced in July, we will soon be ending support for the Cortana app on Android and iOS, as Cortana continues its evolution as a productivity assistant,” reads a Microsoft support note spotted by MacRumors. The Cortana app for iOS and Android is no longer supported, and Microsoft has removed it from both the App Store and Google’s Play Store. It’s the latest in a series of moves to end support for Cortana across multiple devices, including Microsoft’s own Surface Headphones.
