The introduction of voice support for Bing Chat on desktop coincides with Microsoft’s decision to discontinue the standalone Cortana app for Windows later this year. The move underlines the company’s focus on incorporating advanced artificial intelligence capabilities into Windows and Edge. Microsoft emphasizes that despite the retirement of Cortana, users will still have access to robust productivity features through Bing Chat and Microsoft 365 Copilot, an AI-powered tool that generates content within Microsoft’s suite of applications.
