| How to Interrupt Yandex's Alisa Voice Assistant Mid-Response with the New Smart Speaker Update. |
Yandex has just rolled out a game-changing update for its popular voice assistant, Alisa. This new feature allows users to interrupt Alisa mid-sentence — whether you want to clarify something, ask a follow-up question, or completely shift the topic. And the best part? Alisa keeps up with you and adapts the conversation instantly.

Until now, interacting with Alisa meant waiting for her to finish talking before you could say anything else. This could be a bit frustrating if her answers were too long, not what you were looking for, or if you simply changed your mind.
Now, with this interrupt feature, you can:
-
Ask follow-up questions without waiting
-
Change the subject quickly
-
Skip long responses and stay in control of the conversation
And Alisa will still understand the context of your query and respond accordingly. It’s a small change that makes a big difference in usability.
Which Yandex Smart Speakers Support the Interrupt Feature?
Currently, this update is available on four Yandex voice-enabled smart speakers:
-
Station Mini 3
-
Station 2
-
Station Midi
-
Station Duo Max
If you own one of these devices, you're good to go!
How to Enable the Interrupt Feature in Yandex Alisa
Activating this new feature is simple and quick. Just follow these steps:
-
Open the Yandex app on your phone
-
Go to the Settings menu
-
Tap on Virtual Assistant
-
Turn on the toggle for Respond to Interruptions
Once it's enabled, you can start talking to Alisa more naturally—just like a real conversation.
Bonus: Yandex Also Launched Its First Portable Smart Speaker
Back in April, Yandex also introduced two new additions to its smart speaker lineup:
-
The Station Mini 3 Pro
-
And Yandex’s first-ever portable smart speaker with Alisa built-in
This means you can now take Alisa on the go—perfect for road trips, gatherings, or even just moving room to room.
