Yandex study: Russians ask Alisa more questions than they assign tasks

A recent study by Yandex analyzed 100,000 anonymized user interactions with its AI assistant, Alisa, revealing that over half of all queries (54.4%) are simple questions, while only 27.3% are requests for tasks. This contrasts with OpenAI's findings for ChatGPT, where task-oriented requests were significantly higher at 40%. The Yandex research, which adapted OpenAI's methodology, also found that Russian users primarily use Alisa for information retrieval (32.7%), media content (18.1%), and practical advice (14%), with text manipulation and computation being less common uses.
