Yandex Turkey has integrated Yandex AI into its Yandex Maps and Navi applications. This move introduces the first AI-powered chat feature to the geographic services market in Turkey.
The Yandex AI chat feature, which supports both Turkish and English, analyzes user requests by combining map search results, venue descriptions, and user reviews.
The applications can detect complex search queries and offer users the option to receive support via the AI chat. Users can access these features by tapping the Yandex AI icon next to the search bar or by selecting the 'Ask Maps' option within the search bar.
Customizable searches and routing
Within the chat interface, users can specify search areas, change preferences, add time-related criteria, or request suggestions for more active or calmer experiences. After selecting a preferred transportation method for a chosen venue, users can create a route directly through the application.
The feature also allows users to view photos, reviews, and other details of a venue through the venue card.
