welcome to build 2014 today we're announcing two things Windows Phone 8.1 and our Windows 8.1 update we believe that Windows Phone is the world's most personal smartphone so we're going to come up here and pull down from the top and show you our new Action Center in Windows Phone 8.1 now the second thing we've done to make Windows Phone feel even more personal is a feature that lets you greatly personalize your lockscreen of course we've evolved the heart and soul of Windows Phone the Start screen one of the things that we spent a lot of effort on this past year a new feature that makes Windows Phone very personal in an incredibly useful way hi I'm Cortana it's certainly a lot catchier than Microsoft personal assistant v1 service pack 2 she can make phone calls or send text or schedule appointments or take a note give you a reminder she's also good at learning helping you learn things she can do searches tell you what music is playing she knows the places you frequent and so on and so on here's Cortana's notebook this is the transparent way of putting the user in control of their relationship with Cortana you might notice down here on the very bottom Cortana is prompting me with information that's new Wow look at that Microsoft is announcing Windows Phone 8.1 Cortana on the phone gets to know you with your permission it goes in the notebook and then the service can be helpful proactively here are 10 Mexican restaurants in Palo Alto that are 4 stars call the second one sure thing would you like to call well there you go our first little demo bug with my nervous voice sorry about that actually that's a good segue to mention that as you notice in the upper right we're launching Cortana as a beta ordinarily she would recognize when I get home and you would see right there home I converted that temperature to Celsius no that's not what I want I got a 2 I'm gonna try that one again there are 105 calories in a serving of banana the big health and fitness app gets this data as a means of Cortana being extended to apps and then when I use that app the banana is then added and I can keep track of those calories I might talk to my sister on the phone or I might have a chat string with her or I might have an email conversation and in all those cases Cortana will now remind me when I'm in the context of talking to my sister to talk to her about her new puppy Cortana can be extended via third-party apps Hulu add deadbeat to my queue and so the app runs the service recognizes the data adding don't be too cute there it is Cortana is the first truly personal digital assistant you thought talking to Cortana was risky this is terrible I have sweaty hands and now I'm gonna type as fast as I can you ready Windows Phone 8.1 is gonna start rolling out to consumers as an update in the next few months so now I'm gonna change gears and talk to you about Windows 8.1 if you are a Windows user that's been a Windows user for a long time you probably have a deep and intimate relationship with the taskbar so if I move down here to the bottom of the screen the taskbar will pop up and I can use that to switch between modern apps there's mail there's Facebook or I can switch back to a win32 a plate will be available to all windows 8 and 8.1 users via Windows Update starting April 8 well it's my pleasure to introduce Universal windows apps
