Yandex Unveils AI Assistant API For Custom Business Solutions

Yandex B2B Tech has launched the AI Assistant API, a new service enabling businesses to create AI assistants powered by YandexGPT 4. This offering simplifies the development of AI-driven solutions, allowing companies to automate tasks such as technical support, corporate search, and personalized recommendations without extensive coding or infrastructure setup.

Key Features Of The AI Assistant API

The AI Assistant API leverages advanced functionality to integrate seamlessly with company-specific data. Notable features include:

  • Custom Data Integration: Businesses can upload PDFs, DOCs, TEXT, or XLS files to train the AI assistant to respond based on their documents and articles.
  • Future External Knowledge Base Support: Yandex plans to enhance the API with access to external knowledge sources.
  • Enhanced Query Processing: Powered by YandexGPT 4, the model can handle reasoning tasks and process long queries, analyzing up to 60 pages of text.

Flexible Deployment Options

The AI Assistant API is currently available on Yandex Cloud, offering businesses quick access to the service. Plans are underway to allow deployment on private company infrastructure, adding versatility for enterprises with specific data security needs.

Simplifying AI Implementation

Grigory Atrepyev, Director of Products at Yandex Cloud, highlighted the API’s role in reducing barriers for businesses:

“In real business cases, it is important for the model to answer customer questions based on the company’s knowledge base. This reduces errors and inaccuracies. Many businesses lack dedicated data science teams, and the AI Assistant API simplifies integrating neural networks into applications.”

Supporting Innovation

The release of the AI Assistant API builds on Yandex Cloud’s recent launch of five new services aimed at supporting IT product development. This new tool demonstrates Yandex’s ongoing commitment to equipping businesses with cutting-edge technology.
