Alice was created to help people solve everyday problems. She can find almost any information posted on the Internet - from the best places for dinner to the weather forecast for the near future. The user does not need to switch between applications; Alice herself will access various Yandex services and answer questions of interest.
Alice’s main advantage is that she has a perfect command of the Russian language, both literary and spoken, which makes communication with her more lively and convenient. In addition, the assistant from Yandex is the first voice application with artificial intelligence that can carry on a conversation with a real person on any topic. Alice is easy to learn and, if necessary, can adapt to the characteristics and preferences of each user.

The voice assistant from Yandex is considered a good competitor to similar applications from Google and Apple
Benefits of the application
The creators call the main advantage for PC users the fact that “Alice” perfectly understands the Russian language, unlike its analogues (for example, GoogleAssistant). She “speaks” very naturally in the melodic voice of Tatyana Shitova. And thanks to long-term training on a larger amount of textual material, he can answer even unfinished questions and has a unique sense of humor.
What can “Alice” do?
Today, the application can already do a lot, but the developers promise users further continuous improvement and training in new skills.
Already at this stage, the application copes well with the following functions:
- performs a search in Yandex;
- tells the latest news from the Yandex.News portal;
- controls the computer (shutdown, reboot), searches and opens folders and files;
- helps you find the optimal route, warns about traffic jams and accidents on the roads;
- tells you the weather forecast and helps you choose clothes in accordance with the temperature conditions.
“Alice” will tell you about the weather and recommend a good pool
- finds and plays the requested music using the Yandex.Music service;
- launches some applications (for example, Odnoklassniki);
- can call a taxi using the Yandex.Taxi service. To do this, just say: “Alice, call a taxi” and provide the address or name of the location. In this case, you do not need to specify the initial location - the assistant will determine it independently.
How to customize your home screen
As a rule, more users do not change the default settings on their phones, as built-in applications and multiple notifications can be a constant distraction, demanding attention. Any user can customize the main screen of a smartphone, depending on their own preferences.
First, you can remove unnecessary things from your home screen. Many phones come automatically installed with apps that the developers have found useful.
Some software manufacturers pay money to have them placed on the device's desktop. Thus, along with the phone, the user buys advertising for someone else’s product. How to arrange your home screen is a personal matter for everyone and it will be different for everyone. Many people find it convenient to leave only the search bar, date, weather forecast and navigation buttons on the screen. All applications are hidden in the phone menu itself.
It's a good idea to turn off most notifications, as they create a real problem for many people. Some users constantly check their phones to see if any new notifications have arrived. Turning off notifications will reduce your phone's battery drain and free up time spent checking them. How to disable:
- go to the “settings” section - “applications and notifications”;
- find the “notifications” tab;
- select unnecessary applications and turn off their notifications.
To maintain system functionality and monitor the order of your phone's home screen, you can install a special cleaning application on it, for example, CCleaner. In this case, the user will not need to waste time and manually delete unnecessary files and folders. It is enough to perform a few clicks, launch the cleaning program and go to the “Application Manager” section, where a list of programs installed on the device is presented. The user will need to click on the “trash” button, selecting unnecessary applications and confirming the actions to remove them by clicking the “Ok” button.
The Android operating system is quite flexible in management. It's important to find the right balance between productivity and convenience.
