Microsoft CEO embarrassed by Cortana voice command failure during keynote

“Cortana, Microsoft’s answer to Siri, proves less than helpful during a live presentation by chief executive Satya Nadella,” The Guardian reports.

“Nadella was delivering a keynote address at Salesforce’s annual Dreamforce conference when he called upon the services of Cortana,” The Guardian reports. “‘Show me my most at-risk opportunities,’ he commanded. ‘Show me to buy milk at this opportunity,’ Cortana replied.”

Nadella makes several more attempts before finally just giving up.

Watch the video starting at 10:33 to see Microsoft’s Siri wannabe failing miserably.

MacDailyNews Note: Timeline: Apple released Siri on October 4, 2011. Microsoft released their Siri wannabe, Cortana, two and a half years later on April 2, 2014.
