Alice in smart speakers can now be interrupted — just like in a real conversation

The feature is available in beta on popular Station models and is activated in the app

At the beginning of the summer, Yandex introduced a number of updates to the smart device ecosystem. The main innovation is the ability to interrupt Alice during a conversation.

Now, Station users can clarify or change the topic right in the middle of the answer — just like in a normal conversation. For example, to the question about the largest ocean, you can immediately add: "And by the number of fish?", and Alice will immediately rebuild the answer.

The function is available in beta mode on Station Midi, Mini 3, Station 2 and Duo Max — you can activate it in the "House with Alice" application.
