Alice will help schoolchildren prepare for the exams, answer their questions and become their personal assistant.

According to the head of Enlightenment project Ekaterina Ivanova, Alice will enable turning on-line courses into regular educational process. Pupils can ask teachers any questions or discuss any topics at a regular lesson. Now students will be able to ask Alice about everything or even talk to her.

Thus, the main problem of on-line education is eliminated, which is minimum contact of teacher with pupils, Yandex experts believe. Yandex. Enlightenment provides access to educational materials adjusted for usage in on-line courses as well as special interface for schoolchildren and teachers.

It is worth reminding that Yandex has announced launching own voice assistant at the beginning of October. Alice developers assure that possibilities of artificial intellect surpass those of its American analogue named Siri. One of the advantages of a new voice assistant is possibility of going beyond usual scenarios.
