Search with Yandex AI
Yandex AI is a search feature that offers users a concise answer to their query. These answers can appear automatically or after the user manually activates Yandex AI.
Yandex AI can break down difficult questions, find relevant sources, analyze them, and compile the findings into one coherent answer.
All answers provided by Yandex AI include references to the original sources, except for solutions to elementary and middle school math problems. Below the answer, there's an additional search box for follow-up questions if the user has any.
About the technology
-
When generating a response, Yandex AI first scans the internet for relevant information.
-
These sources are analyzed in real-time using a generative neural network.
-
and the findings are combined into a comprehensive answer with references.
Integration with Yandex AI
Yandex AI answers are generated automatically from pages that were indexed by Yandex.
Your page is more likely to be used in such an answer if the information on it is well structured, informative, and grammatically correct.
If you don't want information from your site to be used in Yandex AI answers, add a disallow directive for "YandexAdditional" or "YandexAdditionalBot" in the robots.txt file.*
Example:
User-agent: YandexAdditionalBot
Disallow: /cats/mycat.html # prevents the content of the page from appearing in Yandex AI answers
* The change will take effect as soon as Yandex robots recrawl the page, which typically takes 2–14 days.
