So far, Cortana has received positive reviews and according to Microsoft’s circulated email, its AI assistant has the largest current user base across all voice assistants. That user base could grow even more when the Cortana Skills Kit becomes available, however, Microsoft hasn’t announced a release date yet.

The CSK was supposed to receive a broader availability in February 2017. However, as we reported back on March 1, the official website of the software package is still accepting signups. As mentioned before, the Cortana Skills Kit is a highly-anticipated software package designed for developers and device manufacturers. It will allow developers to use existing Alexa code as a basis for their Cortana skill. According to Microsoft, the Cortana Skills Kit will allow developers to:

“Leverage bots created with the Microsoft Bot Framework and publish them to Cortana as a new skill Integrate their web services as skills and re-purpose code from their existing Alexa skills to create Cortana skills Connect users to skills when users ask, and proactively present skills to users in the appropriate context Personalize their users’ experiences by leveraging Cortana’s understanding of users’ preferences and context, based on user permissions.”
