Introducing Yandex Drops — the first wearable AI device powered by Alice AI. Now you can take your AI assistant with you wherever you go and get answers instantly, without reaching for your phone. A small device. A much bigger step for Alice AI.

Yandex Drops owners will also be the first to get access to My Memory. Just tell Alice AI something you want to remember — an idea, a plan, a recommendation, a reminder — and she'll keep track of it for you. A second brain that works across the entire Alice AI ecosystem.

When people choose a walking route, they are not always looking for the fastest way. Sometimes they want a quieter path. Sometimes a livelier one. Sometimes they want to walk through a park. Sometimes they need to avoid stairs. Today we're introducing walking routes for different situations and preferences in Yandex Maps. 📍

To solve this, we combined LLMs, machine learning, and mapping data to help our models learn how people perceive different routes. The result is navigation that better reflects real-world preferences — not just travel time.

Because the fastest route isn't always the best route. Sometimes the best route is the one that matches the moment.

Yandex Maps and Navigator now give turn-by-turn directions using visible city landmarks. Instead of “turn right,” the apps can say: “Turn right after the grocery store.” This makes unfamiliar routes easier to navigate.

AI analyzes the route, decides where a visual cue would help, and picks the most visible landmark for each maneuver — then times the prompt so drivers hear it right when they need it.

The feature launches with more than 10,000 landmarks across Russia — bus stops, gas stations, and other roadside objects. Each one was checked against street panoramas, so prompts only mention landmarks drivers can actually see from the road. yandex.com/maps
