Alice will start taking into account personal facts about subscribers during conversations.

With the "Pro" option, Alice has a personalized communication feature that allows you to take into account personal facts about the subscriber that he mentioned earlier during conversations. That is, if you tell the neural network about your interests, it will be able to use this information in the future, which will make the dialogues even more natural and meaningful.

As reported in a press release received by Izvestia on July 1, the feature is available to Yandex Plus subscribers with the "Pro" option. You can use it in a chat with Alice, in smart speakers, in the Alice and Yandex with Alice applications, as well as in the Yandex browser for Android. In the future, the option will be available in the desktop version of the browser, as well as for iOS users.

To get access to personalized responses, you will need to log in to a chat with "Alice" or get to know her on a smart speaker or TV Station by saying the phrase: "Alice, let's get to know each other."

In addition, an updated online simulator for English language learners has become available: all conversations with Alice in English will be stored in a separate chat. You can start a dialogue with the phrase: "Alice, let's practice English." The feature works both on smart devices and in chat.

Also, the Live mode based on the Yandex multimodal model (Visual Language Model, VLM) continues to work exclusively for subscribers. You can use it to get answers to questions about objects that your smartphone's camera is pointing at.

Among other things, with the update, subscribers of the "Pro" option will receive priority access to the Alice neural network in the chat, even during peak loads. It allows you to generate texts of different styles and formats, come up with ideas and concepts.

Virtual babysitter and educational quests and games are also available for subscribers with children. Thanks to the quests, young Alice users will be able to get acquainted with scientific discoveries, inventions, traditions of different countries, flora and fauna. Games will also enrich vocabulary and develop logical thinking.
