Alice Keeps Services Running During Connectivity Disruptions in Russia
Users can still access information through Yandex services even under mobile internet restrictions
Yandex says its search engine continues to function even when restrictions are imposed on mobile internet usage. If a website referenced in search results is included in an approved whitelist, users can open it directly. In other cases, Alice provides a concise answer with the relevant information directly in the search window. In effect, the assistant summarizes content from sources that may be inaccessible during connectivity disruptions.
Core Functionality
Even with weak connectivity, the system retains its core functionality. For example, users can still build routes, check business hours, and access other essential information through Alice.
What Remains Available
In addition to text responses, maps, and reference data on organizations, users can also view photos, videos, and look up additional details for specific addresses.
As a result, even during connectivity disruptions, core services remain operational, with Alice acting as an intermediary between users and otherwise inaccessible websites.
