From Hexus:
Microsoft has announced that some Cortana features are going to be appearing on the Bing Homepage starting today. It makes sense not to limit this kind of 'intelligence' to smartphones as Cortana, recently introduced as the personal assistant in Windows Phone 8.1, is actually powered by Bing.

Cortana's learning of your preferences and interests will happen only if you sign into Bing. On Windows Phone 8.1 you are also taken through a Q&A to help set-up Cortana to help you better. On the web Cortana likewise relies on you setting up your interests in Bing Settings (see above). After you are set up you will "start seeing personalized news, weather, flights, and stocks with more to come - all as part of the search experience," says the Bing Blog.
