Yandex.Alice for Windows – what can?
Yandex.Alisa is a development by Yandex that can compete with Siri and Google Assistant, but in order to choose a voice assistant for yourself, you need to know what it can do and how it works. Let’s agree right away that you can do all these actions with pens, but Alice is controlled by you with the help of your voice and you can keep the pens with you.
