Yandex has introduced a new personal AI agent called 'Do It!' (Deystvuy!) within its Alice AI service. The feature transitions the assistant from a prompt-based mode to an autonomous action mode: users can assign multi-step tasks, and the neural network executes them sequentially—from gathering information to final confirmation. As indicated in the presented materials, the launch took place on November 12, 2026, with the most active chat users subscribed to 'Alice Plus' receiving access first.
From chat to action: what the agent can do on its own
The key difference of the new mode is the agent's ability to perform multi-step tasks. The neural network can independently call organizations, clarify details over the phone, book services, search for information on websites, fill out forms, and manage files. Developers cite common scenarios such as scheduling doctor appointments, booking restaurant tables, and confirming meeting details. During a phone call, a real-time transcript appears in the chat, allowing the user to follow the dialogue. However, the agent clears any significant actions with the human, and purchases, orders, and bookings require additional confirmation.
Cloud browser, plugins, and custom tools
To interact with web services, the agent uses a cloud-based 'Yandex Browser': it can open multiple sites, collect data, and fill in the necessary forms. If a page requires login, control is handed over to the user to ensure the agent does not handle credentials without the owner's knowledge. The toolkit is expanded via plugins: 'Yandex Music', 'Yandex Food', 'Yandex Travel', 'Yandex Flowers', 'Smart Home', 'Weather', and third-party services like Aviasales are available. Additionally, users can connect their own tools via MCP servers and set up instructions for recurring tasks, including professional workflows.
Virtual computer and transparency of actions
Architecturally, each user is allocated a separate virtual computer where the agent interacts with the browser, files, and phone services. All its actions are streamed to the chat, making the process transparent: the user sees the steps taken by the AI and can intervene at any moment. This approach, according to the developers, combines agent autonomy with human control over final decisions, reducing the risk of unwanted actions on behalf of the user.
Who gets access and when
In the first phase, the 'Do It!' mode will be opened to several thousand of the most active chat users with an 'Alice Plus' subscription. In the future, the feature will be available to all subscribers both on the website and in the Alice AI mobile app. Thus, Yandex is rolling it out in stages: starting with a limited audience for testing scenarios, followed by scaling to the entire subscription platform.
