The service is already available to users of Yandex applications for iOS and Android. In the near future, "Alice" will appear in the "Yandex Browser".
The task of "Alice" is to help the user in solving everyday tasks. She will tell you the weather, where to eat, which store to go to, can search for any information on the Internet and run applications at your request. When asking "Alice" a question, you do not have to think over the correct wording - the assistant takes into account the context of the conversation and restores the missing parts of the sentences. And you can just talk to "Alice".
The voice assistant is based on a neural network trained on a huge array of texts. She knows fairy tales, stories and anecdotes, but is also capable of improvising. It is noteworthy that the neural network continues to learn. If Alice's answer seems incorrect, you can point it out to her and she will correct herself.
In addition to the neural network, Alice is assisted by the SpeechKit complex of speech technologies. He is responsible for natural speech recognition, and, according to Yandex, the level is comparable to that of a human. Thanks to the same technology, the assistant can speak. The voice is synthetic, but it is based on the voice of the actress Tatyana Shitova.
You can assess the abilities of "Alice" in the mobile applications "Yandex" and "Voice Assistant" for Windows.
