Microsoft is already poised to bring Windows' Cortana voice assistant to other platforms (http://www.engadget.com/2015/03/13/cortana-ios-android/), but the duo behind the OrangeSec team isn't willing to wait that long. They've developed and shown off Portaņa (https://github.com/OrangeSec/CortanaProxy), a simple Android adaptation of Cortana that uses a proxy to talk to Microsoft's servers. While it's nowhere near a complete recreation of the official software (you have to speak in Italian, for one thing), it does work -- you can ask a question and expect an answer back. Portaņa is sadly likely to remain in a rough state as is, though, so you'll want to tinker the source code if you just have to speak to the Halo-inspired helper before there's an official solution.
