In a deal announced on August 30, the pair committed to getting Microsoft's Cortana and Amazon's Alexa assistants to communicate with each other later this year." http://www.zdnet.com/article/microsoft-and-amazon-agree-to-enable-cortana-alexa-communication/?loc=newsletter_large_thumb_featured&ftag=TRE7ce1dc9&bhid=22215562839192533551066075720148
