Yandex's Alisa Assistant Audience Grows to 65 Million

The sector of artificial intelligence-powered virtual assistants is experiencing significant movement with Yandex's report. The Russian company confirms that its assistant, Alisa, is seeing massive adoption in a short period. 🚀

Accelerated Expansion in User Base

According to official data shared with the media outlet RBC, the monthly audience of the service scaled from 40 million people in September to reach 65 million by December 2025. This jump represents a substantial increase that the firm attributes to deeper integration into users' digital lives.

Key Growth Data:
  • The monthly user base grows by 25 million in just four months.
  • The December 2025 figure (65M) is confirmed by a direct Yandex spokesperson.
  • This adoption rate surpasses many industry projections.
The sustained increase in the number of users consolidates Yandex's position in the competitive virtual assistants sector.

Alisa AI: The Advanced Version Gains Ground

Parallelly, the specific Alisa AI service, which offers more complex functions, also reports solid metrics. Currently, 4.5 million people interact with this version daily, indicating that a considerable segment of the total base is already regularly adopting the platform's most powerful capabilities.

Alisa AI Daily Metric:
  • Records 4.5 million daily active users.
  • Shows the transition of users to more advanced AI features.
  • Indicates effective retention and integrated use in routines.

Global Context and Market Position

This growth occurs as the adoption of conversational AI technologies accelerates globally. Yandex not only manages to capture new users but also seems to retain them, suggesting that its assistant has carved out a stable place in digital habits. The firm thus consolidates its status as a key player in a market dominated by big tech companies, demonstrating that local solutions can compete. The contrast between cutting-edge technology and its use to remember to buy milk underscores the paradox of its massive adoption. 🤖
