Yandex AI Türkiye - A local-first AI super app built for Turkey

Hi Product Hunt 👋

Most AI tools today feels global, generic, and slightly disconnected from real culture.

We took a different approach.

Yandex AI is built as a local-first AI super app experience, shaped by local language, culture, places, and daily routines.

The app brings together multiple AI capabilities into a single interface to help you:

• 💬 Chat

• 🔎 Search

• 🧭 Explore

• ✨ Create

—all in ways that make sense locally.

Imagine yourself planning a relaxed Sunday in Istanbul — strolling from Galata Tower to Karaköy for coffee, checking the match score instantly for Galatasaray vs Beşiktaş, or bringing an old family photo back to life.

You can do all this in one place, simply and conveniently with Yandex AI.

The goal isn’t just smarter AI, but AI that fits your life.

Thanks for being here 💛

Yandex AI is a local‑first AI super app, launching first in Turkey.

It's built around the way people actually use language, know real places, and live in familiar routines.

The AI space is crowded with generalists; Yandex AI chose to go deep, and then broad.

They worked with local teams to develop place-specific insights you won't get from the AI labs, achieving quality and nuance you can feel.

But it's not just for local recs — by leveraging the Yandex ecosystem, it achieves super-app utility. Search, shop, plan, and do — with mini-apps right in chat, and a browser just a tap away when needed.

If you’ve felt how generic artificial general intelligence gets things “almost but not quite right” abroad, this is the counter‑example. It’s what local‑first AI should feel like.

Launching in Turkey today. Everywhere else next.

Where would you love to see local AI done right? Tell the team where to focus next!

It’s always nice to see a product built around real user habits

Hey! Tested the image gen – results are solid. Not mind-blowing, but definitely not bad either. Feels good enough for quick drafts and experiments, curious to see how it evolves next. Btw, it's working in English (not only Turkish).

This should be done on international level :)

Didn’t expect much, but it’s easy to use, a simple everyday helper kind of app

Another idea aimed at simplifying how we use the internet when it keeps getting harder to find what you actually need. I'm always into ideas like this

Need to try it over the long term. Does the AI adapt to the user? Does it remember all the nuancesi?

Good luck guys! 👌

Great concept, keen to see it in action! Good luck with your launch!
