Windows 10's Cortana adds Suggested Reminders to help you keep your promises

Windows 10's Cortana is already a dutiful digital assistant, providing answers, reminders, or other information when asked. But Microsoft has given her more power to take the initiative, automatically setting reminders for commitments you've already agreed to. Take an email, for example. You may have promised your boss that you'll deliver a sales presentation by Friday. Just in case you've forgotten, Cortana will automatically issue what Microsoft is calling a "suggested reminder" the day before, to ensure you have plenty of time to finish it up.
