Microsoft and Amazon have announced their partnership to bring their host digital assistants closer. The two companies have announced that Alexa and Cortana will soon be able to talk to each other. This means that whatever devices these digital assistants are on, they will be able to summon the other in a jiffy. For instance, you will be able to tell the Amazon Echo, ”Alexa, open Cortana,” and same goes for Windows 10 devices as you say, ”Cortana, open Alexa.” So let’s dive in to see some more details on the subject.

It does not seem fancy just yet, but since each digital assistant has its own set of features which it excels at, summoning up your desired one will enhance utility. For instance, if you want to make use of the Outlook Calendar or check your emails, you can ask Alexa to open Cortana for you because it will do it better than the prior. Same goes for users who are interested in ordering stuff online. You can simply ask Cortana to open Alexa for you which will navigate you to Amazon.com. According to Microsoft’s press release, the interoperability will be available to users later this year.
