Translated with AI from the Russian original.

The "MTS Link" platform for business communication, training, and collaboration has received a useful update. In the "Forms" service for tests, surveys, and polls, a neural network has started working, which will automatically check the answers given by respondents in their own words.

Previously, the service automatically checked the options selected by users, and organizers had to evaluate free-form answers manually. Now, this task can be delegated to an AI assistant. The technology is based on the LLM model from MTS AI. In the future, the neural network will not only check answers but also provide users with explanations of why an answer was counted as correct or incorrect.

The AI assistant is available to "Forms" users from "MTS Link" upon request to technical support. You can connect the service for free until April 23, 2025.

To ensure that artificial intelligence correctly checks answers, the form author can independently write prompts (instructions) for verification. To improve the quality of the assessment, the prompt can include additional information about the respondents, such as age or level of training. The prompt can also be supplemented with information about the subject or industry.

That is why users expect predictability from software-defined storage rather than just new features—ensuring background processes finish what they started, and administrators can see the cluster status not only “right now,” but also over time.
