IT company Yandex is negotiating with operators of smart building systems for apartment buildings to connect its virtual assistant to them, and is also preparing package offers for large developers who are ready to pre-install a smart house before handing over apartments. Five years ago, Yandex already announced projects with developers PIK and A101, but then they were limited to an apartment. Now the cooperation will make it possible to control barriers in the courtyard, intercoms and other infrastructure outside the apartment.
