Yandex has integrated Krosh and Nyusha from the Smeshariki animated series into its Alice AI platform. This collaboration marks the first time Russian animated characters have been featured as virtual conversational partners within the service.
The AI models for these characters utilize specific instructions to mimic their original personalities. Krosh is programmed to respond with high energy and curiosity, while Nyusha maintains an emotional and dreamy tone. The system allows for ongoing dialogue that accounts for context.
Users can access these characters through the Alice AI website, the Alice AI and Yandex with Alice AI mobile applications, and the Yandex Browser. These additions are now part of the broader catalog of AI personas available to the public.
