Bring back Cortana
✉️ Subject: Bring Back Cortana — A Legacy Worth Reviving
Dear Microsoft Team,
I’m writing as a passionate user who believes Cortana deserves a comeback—not just as a voice assistant, but as a character-driven companion that once defined Microsoft’s unique identity.
Cortana wasn’t generic. She was personal, iconic, and deeply integrated into the Windows experience. Her Halo-inspired roots, conversational tone, and productivity features made her stand out in ways that Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant never could.
With Copilot now leading the AI frontier, there’s a golden opportunity: revive Cortana as a persona option within Copilot or as a dedicated assistant mode. This would:
- Differentiate Microsoft with a recognizable, emotionally resonant AI character
- Honor legacy and nostalgia for longtime users who still miss her
- Enhance productivity with voice-driven, contextual support
- Delight users by giving us the choice to personalize our experience
This isn’t just about nostalgia—it’s about giving users a distinctive, humanized AI companion that blends productivity with personality. Cortana’s return could be one of Microsoft’s most celebrated comebacks.
Thank you for considering this request. I believe Cortana still has a place in the future of Microsoft AI.
Sincerely, Coco
P.S: You should make another Cortana speaker of your own to beat Google and Amazon. You can do this.
