Add Cortana
Imagine this chat conversation between two users:
Patrick : Sales is doing great now...
James : Yes but I wonder where we are growing?
Patrick: @Cortana Show me revenue by country in October 2016
Cortana: [Shows a graph with top selling countries with a link to the Power BI report]
James: @Cortana What product sells best in Sweden?
Cortana: [Answers with text] "Superduper Sport Shoe" has most revenue in Sweden for October 2016.
Now imagine adding in a bot that can answer questions about inventory or even a procurement bot...
This feature request is still being worked upon.
I am still trying to get details on what we could expect for Cortana in Teams and will share examples once something is available.

I would love to be able to tell Siri to send message within Teams. Hands free work flow is extremely helpful on the go

If Microsoft can manage to engineer AI with this exact feature - nothing like it.

@Cortanta share my screen, start my meeting, mute all, start recording, turn on live captioning, etc.

Just like I'm telling google to call my Mom,
I want to tell Cortana to call my manger instead of pressing buttons -

@Cortana- find a time for our team to meet next week?
You can use Microsoft FindTime or Calendar.ly within an email but it seems silly you can't do this in Teams!

Your idea is really great. It would be great if Cortana supports all these conversation modes. Microsft is working on its feature update. To know more about Cortana visit
https://microsoftsupport.co/microsoft-support-uk and tell them about your suggestion. -

I think you should review how to create a custom bot. There's no reason to create a "Cortana" bot - just write a Teams bot (which is really just a bot that uses the same framework as Cortana) - call it whatever you want, and give it the functionality that you want. In other words - "@BIBot, what product sells best in Sweden?", and the BIBot queries a database and responds with "Superdupr Sport show has the most revenue in Sweden for October 2016"
A long way of saying that the ability already exists to do this. See https://aka.ms/microsoftteamsbotsplatform

I would like this added as a knowledge bot specific to my department's needs and expertise. A database of best match responses in Excel or Access would make this possible

It should work like a like Virtual Assistant so that it can make things easier or more simple like organizing meetings or starting a chat with the someone from your contacts. All the task performed by voice instead of typing. Make it like Cortana but more of T-Bot which specific to the Teams Application.

T-Bot cannot answer simple question like
1. How is weather today?
2. Who is CEO of Microsoft? -

This would be awesome! I would think that there could be a tie in so that the bot uses the Q&A portion of a dashboard or report to be able to answer the questions. This would really help to be able to gather data that is only needed in the moment that's not part of a pre-existing report.

Tie reminders from Cortana with Teams as well as tracking packages and connected services like CRM or LinkedIn?

Step 1: Show cool off AI at Ignite conference
Step 2: Release new productivity and collaboration product that mimics slack in a lot of ways
Step 3: Sideline cool AI that could separate Teams from Slack and Discord
Step 4: Have users' first interaction with new latest product be with T-Bot, the window-licker of AI
