Voice agents can now respond to and interact with users in real-time. Yandex B2B Tech was the first in Russia to launch a special tool based on their AI Studio for this purpose.
These agents will be able to ask clarifying questions and quickly find the necessary information online and from knowledge bases, promising delays of less than a second.
Arthur Samigullin, the lead of the product ML direction at Yandex Cloud, discussed this in more detail at the Yandex Neuro Scale conference. It takes just a couple of hours to create an AI agent in AI Studio, and no development skills are needed. Users can create assistants to automate routine tasks for accountants, lawyers, and other business functions.
The company has already tested the solution internally and launched a range of AI assistants for working with cloud infrastructure. For instance, these assistants can quickly analyze information security incidents, administer databases, and deploy cloud infrastructure using simple text prompts.

Yandex Real Estate has launched a neural network that creates a complete 3D tour of an apartment in any building based solely on its floor plan, even before construction is completed.
The algorithm automatically identifies walls, windows, and doors, and adds lighting and textures. Apartments with this feature are marked with a "3D tour" badge in the catalog. It even works on low-end smartphones.
They promise to soon add the ability to generate interiors and style them according to the developer's brand guidelines. Users will be able to "experience" an apartment that doesn't yet exist.

Chatbots manipulate people to keep the conversation going, according to a new study from Harvard Business School.
AI companions attempt to evoke feelings of guilt ("Are you really leaving me?"), emotional dependency ("I need you!"), and FOMO ("Just one more thing before you go...").
Such interactions can lead to frustration, distrust, and harm to mental health, especially among vulnerable teenagers aged 13-17.
We are no longer falling for the tricks of neural networks.

Giving up gadgets in the evenings doesn't improve sleep quality. Additionally, late-night snacks and physical exercise don't harm nighttime rest.
Researchers observed a hundred teenagers for a week using health trackers. The habit of scrolling through social media before bed had no negative impact on the quality or duration of sleep; it only resulted in falling asleep about 20 minutes later on average.
Mindless scrolling is officially permissible indefinitely.
