"Alice" learned to answer calls
Miscellaneous / / March 15, 2022
The feature can already be enabled on iOS and Android.
Alisa has received new features: now she can act as a telephone assistant, answering unwanted calls instead of the user. The service is free for Yandex. Plus”, but individual carriers may charge for call forwarding.
To activate it, just open the Yandex app on iOS or Android and tell the voice assistant something like "Alice, start answering calls." A page will appear with instructions on how to set up call forwarding of blocked calls to Alice. Next, you will need to select the messenger to which the assistant will send the recording of the conversation and its text transcript. At the start, Yandex, Telegram and Viber are available, WhatsApp should be added later.
It is worth noting that the function works only when the caller ID from Yandex is turned on. If it hasn't been set up yet, instructions will first appear to enable this service (it's free). In addition, the user must have the "Internet calls" function disabled (you can check it on the website or in the operator's application).
How notes VC.ru with reference to the representatives of the company, "Alisa" will answer the call if the user has dropped it, or if the user is unavailable or does not pick up the phone for more than 20 seconds. In addition, if the user has enabled the Spam Call Blocking feature, calls from numbers marked as spam or fraudulent by the identifier will also be forwarded to the assistant.
