Yandex is entering the race of personal AI agents. In the past, similar solutions were presented by foreign technology companies. In Russia, Yandex announced its own product in this category.
Alice AI now has a personal AI agent “Act! ", which will be able to carry out user instructions: from making an appointment with a doctor to making orders and ordering services through Yandex services and third-party companies. In this case, the main decisions will remain in the hands of the user: he himself chooses which services to provide access to and gives permission to perform actions.
According to the company, the agent will use proprietary and open AI models depending on the task. At the same time, the company's hardware will allow you to connect new models and replace existing ones without rebuilding the system.
