Yandex Maps has launched an AI-powered chat feature designed to recommend places for leisure and activities based on a single text query. This new functionality moves beyond traditional search filters, allowing users to describe their needs, such as "a place for a company of 5, including two children, with a play area and parking," and receive tailored suggestions. The AI analyzes various data points, including operating hours, menu items, and user reviews, to match establishments with specific user scenarios. This aims to improve discoverability for businesses by understanding nuanced requests, with Yandex Maps reporting a monthly audience of approximately 95 million users. AI
