22.09.2017

Russian President Vladimir Putin has congratulated national internet provider Yandex with its jubilee, TASS informs. Twenty years passed since the day when two friends Arkady Volozh and Ilya Segalovich presented a new internet searcher at the exhibition in Moscow.

At present, a share of the company at the Russian market has exceeded fifty percent. Yandex increased its income by 25 percent over the first three months of 2017.

The president got to know main service companies and promising developments. Putin talked to the voice assistant named Alisa to be launched at the beginning of the next month. According to its developers, the artificial intellect has no analogues in the world and Alisa can talk on any topics. The device analyses large bulks of information before the answer and does not use the principle of defining the key words as other known voice assistants.

Moreover, an unmanned vehicle was presented to the head of state. It was also developed by Yandex team.

The company directors told Putin that currently around seventy thousand people work in the company, the majority of them graduated from the Russian universities.

After the Russian leader got to know that development offices are opened in different Russian cities, he advised the company management to pay attention to the Far East as this region is developing very fast.
