Cortana attracts developers to build skills

AI is not the future anymore,
it's here.
We can use it.
"Hi Ariel, you have two urgent
messages."
"It will take you two minutes to
complete."
We developers need to follow the
stream.
We need to develop what people
need.
You push a button and
publish that skill on
Cortana's skill store, and
it's boom available.
It's phenomenal.
Cortana has the kind of reach
that no other platform has.
You've got millions of devices
and user that are leveraging
Cortana to do their day-to-day
job.
Technology-wise and support-wise
it is really amazing right now.
By partnering with Microsoft,
there's nothing more which a
small company can dream about.
Cortana is unique in the way
that it's a hybrid platform.
You get a visual experience and
it engages all the senses.
When using Bot Framework you are
writing the code once.
You can now publish it to many
different channels.
Microsoft understand developers
and technology.
If they're happy building on
your platform they can focus on
the things that they're really
good at.
It's very easy to go from
an idea,
to building a Cortana skill
very, very quickly.
Voice recognition, natural
language processing,
this is all on the cutting edge.
It's good to be here early
learning about it together
with our partners.
What really excited me about
this partnership is the ability
to take this dream and make it a
reality.
It's all just a new space that
we're all learning and growing
in, and Cortana skills will
continue to evolve and I'm
really excited to see where it's
going to go.
