Shawn Hessinger says, “Personal digital assistants like Cortana and others have been around for a few years now.

But you may be surprised to learn that they’ll soon be taking a much bigger role when it comes to your business.

According to David Smith, Vice President of World Wide SMB Sales at Microsoft, digital assistants will be taking over more and more little tasks and helping you work smarter at your business:

“What does this mean for small businesses? Well, business owners can already use Cortana on the new Office, to provide rich work related insights and actions. As applications become smarter, personal digital assistants will become more predictive bringing significant productivity benefits to business owners. For example, with Cortana connected to Office 365, she can help business owners prepare for upcoming meetings, search for files, be aware of schedule changes and provide reminders and quick actions when needed.”

He goes on to add that business owners will be able to talk naturally to their digital personal assistants“.
