Cortana

Cortana is an intelligent personal assistant created by Microsoft for
 Windows Phone 8.1 and Windows 10 Mobile (where it now supersedes
 coming to iOSAndroid,.

Cortana was demonstrated for the first time at the Microsoft BUILD
 Developer Conference (April 2–4, 2014) in San Francisco.[1] It has
 been launched as a key ingredient of Microsoft's planned "makeover"
 of the future operating systemsfor Windows Phone and Windows.[4] It
 is named after Cortana,[9] a synthetic intelligence character in
 Microsoft's Halovideo game franchise originating in Bungie folklore,
 with Jen Taylor, the character's voice actress, returning to voice the 
personal assistant's US-specific version.[11]
Cortana is currently available in English, French, German, Italian,
 Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese language editions, depending
 on the software platform and region in which it is used.
Cortana's features include being able to set reminders, recognize
 natural voice without the user having to input a predefined series
 of commands, and answer questions using information from Bing
 (like current weather and traffic conditions, sports scores, and
 biographies).[17][18][19] Windows 8.1's universal Bing SmartSearch
 features are incorporated into Cortana, which replaces the previous
 Bing Search app which is activated when a user presses the "Search"
 button on their device.[20] Cortana also includes a music recognition
 service.[21] Cortana can also roll dice and flip a coin by asking the
 commands "roll a dice" (one dice), "roll the dice" (two dice), and "flip a coin"
,[22] Concert Watch is a feature that helps Cortana determine which bands
 or musicians you are interested in by monitoring your Bing searches.[23]
 Cortana also integrates with the Microsoft Band for Windows Phone
 devices if connected via bluetooth.[24][25] On the Microsoft Band
 Cortana can make reminders and bring phone notifications.[26]
Since the Lumia Denim series, launched in October 2014, active listening
 was added to Cortana, enabling it to be triggered with the phrase: “Hey Cortana,”
 even across the room and without the need to touch the phone. After the trigger
 phrase is spoken, Cortana can be controlled normally for tasks like setting a
 reminder, asking a question, or launching an app.[27] Some devices
 from the United Kingdom by O2 have received the Lumia Denim update
 without the feature but this was later clarified as a bug and Microsoft had
 since fixed it.[28]
Cortana also integrates with services like Foursquare to provide restauran
and local attraction recommendations.
Thus it is very sad thing that Cortana is only available on windows phone and
 windows 10, no one can download it for other platform!!
