Invoke (stylized as INVOKE) is a smart speaker developed by Harman Kardon. It was powered by Microsoft's intelligent personal assistant, Cortana.[2][3] Voice interaction with Cortana provides features such as setting alarms, facts, searches, weather, news, traffic, flights, and other real-time information. Additionally, the speaker's Cortana integration with one's Microsoft Account enabled calendars, reminders, commutes, to-do lists, and home automation features, among others.

The device supported music streaming from Spotify, iHeartRadio, and TuneIn.[4] and was also the first smart speaker to support voice calls using Skype.[5] The inside of the speaker consists of seven far-field microphones, three woofers, three tweeters, two passive radiators, and a 40-watt amplifier.[6]
