Lenovo and Microsoft today announced the feature called REACHit at Lenovo Tech World, which will be available on Windows 10 and also will work with Cortana to provide you more options.

Lenovo announced and demonstrated these technologies infront of thousands of fans, media, partners and suppliers during the keynote address at Tech World.

Lenovo and Microsoft Make Devices Even More Personal with Cortana

Lenovo REACHit extends the search capabilities of Cortana for Windows 10 devices with REACHit's ability to search for content across any connected Lenovo PC or tablet device running Windows 10 and many major cloud services.

This deep, exclusive platform integration gives Cortana a much larger inventory of information to search, opening up an entirely new level of contextual search and giving users the most comprehensive, seamless and natural way to find their personal digital content.

Cortana is the personal digital assistant available across Windows 10 PCs, tablets and phones that allows users to talk or type naturally to get things done.

Cortana and REACHit search her personal cloud accounts including services beyond Microsoft and Windows like Google Drive, DropBox and Box. Without REACHit, users can only look for files on their device they are currently using and OneDrive. REACHit makes Cortana even smarter.

Commenting on the event, "It's great to see Lenovo building on the Windows and Cortana platform to create a unique and valuable solution that will help our joint customers be more productive across their devices and services," said Peter Han, vice president, Worldwide OEM Marketing, Microsoft Corp. "Microsoft and Lenovo teams held creative design sessions, advanced hardware discussions, even late night coding marathons to deliver Cortana and REACHit."
