The voice assistant will also be able to show offense if the situation requires it.

It is emphasized that “Alice”, with the help of new algorithms prescribed to her, will select an emotion according to the current situation.

According to the developers, the voice assistant will be able to change the emotional tones in its speech almost according to the same principle as people do.
