Who is Alice and why does she live in
a box?
Alice is a virtual voice assistant
created by Yandex.
Alice recognizes live speech, imitates
a dialogue, and is an interlocutor, and
for someone, a friend.
A little later, after the creation of
Alice, the developers created a Yandex
station, in which Alice now lives.

History of creation.
Alice's development began at the end
of 2016, when the direction for the
development of virtual assistants was
formed in the IT market: Apple's Siri,
Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa and
Microsoft's Cortana were already
presented on the market
On September 21, Alice was
introduced to Vladimir Putin during a
visit by the president of Yandex on
the eve of the company's 20th
anniversary.

Name and identity
A special feature of Alice was the personality developed
by the Yandex team together with Vladimir Guriev, a
journalist and former head of the company's marketing
group. It was decided that the voice assistant will be a
young ironic girl who is ready to help the owner of the
smartphone. Dubbing actress Tatiana Shitova became
the voice of Alice
The choice of the name of the voice
assistant took place in several stages. To
begin with, a list of requirements was
formed: the name should not have the
letter er, which is not pronounced by young
children, and the name should not be
included in common phrases. For this
reason, the name "Maya" was "rejected",
which could be mistakenly recognized in
combinations like "the ninth of May".

5.

Innovation.
The main differences between Alice and
competitors (for example, Siri) are integration with
the company's own search engine and the
presence of a neural network with which the
assistant independently generates new replicas.
"Alice" is embedded in the Yandex search
application. You can communicate with the
assistant both by voice and by entering queries
from the keyboard. If possible, "Alice" answers the
question directly in the dialog interface, in other
cases — shows the search results on request or the
desired application.
In simple words, Alice is your personal psychologist, DJ,
meteorologist, comedian and even a family
member.Alice wakes you up, soothes and amuses
you.If you want to find something on the Internet,
Alice will always help you with this and direct you to
the right page.

Advantages and
disadvantages.
Advantages
•Alice supports only 2 languages: Russian
and Turkish
•You can search without using your hands.
Simply dictate the request by voice and
listen to the result.
•Can maintain a live dialogue, albeit with a
limited number of phrases
•In the technology of choosing the response
method based on the received data, filters
are used that exclude audacity and anger, as
well as discussion of undesirable topics.
"Alice" speaks only to the point, and when
the topic concerns the forbidden zone,
smoothly evades the answer.
Disadvantages
•Alice is made specifically for Russian users, so
it is more useful than other voice assistants in
Russia
•Sometimes the assistant is in a hurry:
without listening to you to the end, he begins
to give an answer
•Alice copes with yours with varying success,
but she does not know how to ask her own
questions
There are more pluses than minuses, which indicates the success of Alice

Conclusion
The head assistant "Alice" is primarily aimed at facilitating the process of searching
for information. In many cases, it has become possible to do this without the help of
hands. In addition, most of the results can be listened to. And it is these functions
that should be regarded as really useful.
*Alice, where's my
phone?
Alice is no longer just a virtual assistant with whom you can have fun or solve any
simple tasks. Thanks to these skills, the voice assistant helps the business develop
and promotes closer contact with consumers. The service has reached a new level,
becoming more automated and humane.
