5-2 Assignment: First Draft of Critical Analysis Essay Assignment

In 2014, Foster began building a creative team that drafted a multipage
personality brief for Microsoft’s not-yet-released virtual assistant.
“If we imagined Cortana as a person,” a product manager named Marcus
Ash asked the team, “who would Cortana be?”
