Since Siri made its debut on the iPhone 4S back in October 2011 and since then we have seen rival offerings made available by other platforms, and more recently Microsoft got in on the act. Today we have a Google Now vs. Cortana video comparison battle for your viewing pleasure.

We have already seen a light hearted banter battle between Siri and Cortana but today’s video is comparing the voice assistants more seriously. The YouTube video we have embedded below is almost 5 minutes long and asks the two voice assistants a number of questions.

The two apps are running on a Nokia Lumia 925 and a Nexus 5 and we get a look at the two apps when they are not responding to questions, with both of them providing information such as headlines and current weather.

This video then asks the voice assistants a number of questions so we will let you watch the full video before telling us which one you prefer the look of.
