A new report tells us that Microsoft could soon reveal its cross platform mobile personal assistant known as ‘Office Now’ very soon. Neowin reports that this service will be available on Android, iOS and Windows platforms and even has a couple of screenshots to show off.
Using this app, users will be able to get all the information that is relevant to them at that given point. Options include directions for a meeting/conference, emails that are directed to you, reminders, appointments etc. We don’t think it will be a Google Now killer as of yet, but it tells us that Microsoft is willing to take the fight to Google in the personal assistant arena.
Bill Gates hinted at the arrival of Office Now during a Reddit AmA (Ask me Anything) session a few months ago and it’s good to see this finally coming to fruition.
Here are some of the features that are said to be available with the app:
- At-a-glance summary of your day first thing in the morning directly from your lock screen or notification center.
- Commute card – Tells you what traffic looks like and how long your commute will take.
- Highlights card – Presents insights about your day, like how much time you’ll spend in events, when your first event starts and when your last event ends.
- Missed call card -Shows any missed calls and provides a quick action to return the call.
- In-depth people insights – via a deep link into the Revolve app.
- Natural language event creation -Allows you to create events like you would say it.
- Email to yourself card – Displays any email that you send to yourself.
- Emails directly to you – Shows email that is sent directly to you from others.
