Yandex with Alice (beta)

The Yandex with Alice app is designed to simplify daily life by providing quick access to essential information and services. The app's home screen offers a convenient display of the weather, traffic updates, and a search bar. For even faster information retrieval, users can install the app widget on their device.

The app's standout feature is its smart search function, powered by the virtual assistant Alice. Users can search for information in various ways, including typing queries, speaking to Alice, or using the Smart camera to take photos. Alice can also assist with tasks such as identifying unknown callers, finding deals on purchases, and solving complex problems.

In addition to text-based search, the app also offers voice search capabilities. Users can speak their queries and receive quick suggestions and instant results. This feature is especially useful for those who prefer not to type.

Alice serves as a virtual assistant, providing helpful information and recommendations. She can inform users about traffic conditions, suggest nearby stores or restaurants, set reminders, and search the internet for any needed information. Users can interact with Alice as if she were a real person, engaging in conversations and even enjoying her jokes and stories. To make Alice the default assistant on their device, users can go to the app's settings and select Yandex as the preferred option.

The app also offers a free caller ID feature, allowing users to see who is calling even if the number is not saved in their contacts. This feature can also be configured to automatically block spam calls. However, it is only available for devices running Android 10.0 or later.

The beta version of the app is available for experienced users who are willing to provide feedback and report any bugs or issues. Users can send their feedback directly through the app or via email. This collaborative effort aims to continuously improve the app and make it even more user-friendly.
