Alice AI Do it!: Guide to Calls, Browser Tasks and MCP

Last updated: November 15, 2026

Alice AI Do it! is Yandex’s new personal agent, announced November 13, 2026. It plans multistep tasks, makes approved phone calls, browses and fills forms in a cloud Yandex Browser, connects plugins including custom MCP servers, and runs scheduled tasks. It is rolling out to active Alice Plus users first, then all subscribers.

This guide draws on Yandex’s official announcement, its engineering write-up and the Russian-language Alice Plus help page.

What changed with Do it!

Before Do it!, Alice AI was a chat assistant: you asked questions or got help with one part of a task. Valery Stromov, CEO of Alice AI and Smart Devices at Yandex, said that with Do it! people can ask Alice AI “to see it through from start to finish,” even when a task spans several services, documents and phone calls.

Under the hood, a single orchestrator agent powered by a large language model chooses tools and decides each next step. It hands browsing and phone calls to specialized agents, and independent parts of a task can run in parallel.

Capability	What Do it! does	Your control point
Phone calls	A phone agent calls a business or person, for example a clinic or restaurant, using Yandex speech recognition and synthesis	You approve the call; a live transcript appears in chat
Web browsing and forms	A browser agent reads screenshots, clicks and types in a personal Yandex Browser on a remote server	Watch in chat, take over at any time; you sign in to accounts yourself
Plugins	Yandex food and flower delivery, music, travel booking, smart home and weather, plus third-party services	You choose which services to connect; approval before bookings, purchases or orders
Custom MCP plugins	Connect your own services and data through an MCP server	Actions depend on the server and the permissions you grant
Files and code	A separate virtual computer per user with its own file system and a code execution environment	Files persist between runs
Recurring tasks and memory	Scheduled tasks, saved skills and long-term memory records	Ask it to remember or change your rules

On models, Yandex says Do it! uses a mix of Yandex-developed models and open-weight models running on Yandex infrastructure. Yandex models currently power the browser agent, the phone agent and image generation. Yandex can swap models without rebuilding the system.

Availability and price

Do it! is a gradual rollout. Yandex says it starts with “several thousand of the most active Alice AI chat users” who have the Alice Plus option, then expands to all subscribers through the Alice AI website and mobile app.

According to the Alice Plus help page, the option costs 199 rubles per month and widens limits across all features at once. It requires an active Yandex Plus multi-subscription and can be connected and used only in Russia and Belarus. First-time subscribers get a free trial. Yandex has not published separate Do it! usage limits.

How to run a task with Do it!

Make sure you have Yandex Plus, then add Alice Plus. The subscription help page says you can do this in the Alice AI chat at alice.yandex.ru from the Alice Plus option in the lower-left corner.
Open Alice AI on the website or in the mobile app and switch to Do it! mode once it appears on your account.
Describe the whole outcome in one request, for example “call the clinic and book a Tuesday morning appointment.”
Connect the plugins the task needs. Only the services you choose are connected.
Approve each important action when asked: phone calls, bookings, purchases and orders.
Follow progress in the chat. Read the live call transcript, or watch the browser window and take control if needed.
When a site needs your login, sign in yourself when the agent hands over the page. Yandex says you will not need to sign in again for future tasks.

Custom MCP plugins

Custom plugins are the main power-user feature. To create one, Yandex says you provide a name, a description, an MCP server address, and instructions for how Alice AI should use it. You can connect an existing MCP server or build your own; Yandex gives GitHub’s official MCP server as an example for working with repositories, issues and pull requests.

Write the plugin description carefully. Yandex says the agent picks plugins from their short descriptions and loads detailed instructions only when needed, so a vague description can mean the plugin is never chosen. For a deeper look at how other assistants surface MCP apps, see our Claude Interactive Connectors guide.

Power-user workflows

Weekly digests: Ask Do it! to prepare a digest of chosen sources every Friday. It sets up the schedule, and because files persist, it can compare each new digest with the last one.
Saved skills: Save your requirements as a skill, a reusable set of instructions covering where to look, what to include and what to check. The agent may also suggest scheduling tasks you assign often.
Preferences in memory: Tell the assistant to remember rules such as preferred times or formats. Yandex says it retrieves stored information only when relevant.
Spreadsheet work: For calculations, spreadsheets or file conversions, the agent can write and run code in its execution environment and reuse the results.

Limitations and comparisons

The main limits today are access and geography: a small first wave, an Alice Plus requirement, and Alice Plus availability only in Russia and Belarus. Yandex has not published task quotas, call length limits or which open-weight models it uses. A “dreaming” feature, where the agent reviews past tasks overnight, is described as a future plan only.

Compared with Alice AI’s earlier chat experience, Do it! adds action-taking tools rather than just answers. Its mix of phone calls, a cloud browser and MCP plugins puts it in the same category as other agent products we have covered, such as OpenAI’s GPT-Live SIP outbound calling, the Gemini Computer Use tool, Perplexity Teammates and Meta’s Muse Mail. Do it! bundles these abilities into one consumer agent tied to Yandex services.
