Cortana integration with Office 365

Cortana is your personal assistant on your Windows 10 device. Cortana in Windows 10 is already great at letting you quickly see what your day is going to look like, see when and where your first meeting is, get a sense of travel times to work, or even get updates from your calendar for upcoming trips. Cortana gets even better as she connects to Office 365, which enhances her ability to help you prepare for meetings learn about the people you work with, and remind you where you need to be next so you won't be late.

You're always in control of your data with Cortana. We've made it simple for you to turn off Cortana for your organization if you like.
