@natallia_novik Thanks a lot! Doing our best!

Overall this feels like a decent attempt to remove unnecessary complexity: fewer decisions, fewer steps, less thinking about tools. If this balance stays, the app should stick

Kirill Demochkin

@andrei_romashkov That's totally right! We've tried to keep it as simple for the user, as possible. All the hard work is done on our end!

Anna Sokolova

Well done on the launch!

Kirill Demochkin

@annasokol Thank you for your support!

It can replace a number of apps - which I love - anything else planned?

@nick_leighton Thanks for the appreciation, Nick! This is our new product, and we will continue enhancing and optimizing it based on what works best for our users

Cool! But can it negotiate prices at the Grand Bazaar… politely?

From what I remember, Yandex used to be a search engine, am I correct? And now you are bringing in the AI to it. When do you plan a global rollout of this? Is Turkey the first country you're launching in?

Interface is simple, UX is solid. Minimalism doesn’t hurt, actually feels like it helps focus on main workflow
