Voice assistants are already on part of our everyday life. Whether we use them from our phone, via a connected speakerphone or on our smartwatch, the fact is that they are becoming more and more useful. But although many companies want to take advantage of their piece of the pie and thus many opportunities, the two language assistants Alexa and Google Assistant stand out from the others.
In Windows 10 we have Cortana. From the information that emerges, it doesn’t appear that Microsoft is achieving high usage rates.
