Microsoft adds Cortana in Skype for Android

On the lines of Google Assistant integration in Allo, Microsoft has brought Cortana to Skype Messenger. The digital assistant will quietly reside in the messenger and occasionally jumping in with suggestions about helpful information. You will also be able to directly chat with Cortana.

According to Microsoft, Cortana will be gradually rolled out to all markets, starting with US. So, don’t get impatient if Cortana doesn’t show up for you in Skype right-away.

Twitter will get a save-for-later button

Twitter is finally working to add a save-for-later button, which will allow you to bookmark tweets that you find interesting and might want to check out later. There is no word on when exactly the feature will roll-out, but according to Twitter product manager Jesar Shah, they have just started to work on it. So, it might take a while.

For Hack Week @Twitter we started developing #SaveForLater. Here’s the early prototype that we put together in a week, which is likely to change. pic.twitter.com/c5LekvVF3l
