Main features

File Search

Search the company’s knowledge base. It processes the knowledge base in a format understandable for the agent and finds answers using the RAG approach.

Web Search

A tool for generating responses based on data from the Yandex search network. Customize your search, for example, by configuring search results for a specific region or limiting the search to specific domains.

Work with various file types

File Search extracts data from files of different file formats and structures and converts it into a format that models understand. It works with PDF documents with complex structures and images, scans, tables, Markdown markup, as well as audio and video files.

Agent integration and availability via API

AI Search is available through the Responses API and Realtime API as a built-in tool that allows agents to search for documents, extract facts, compare data, generate responses and reports.

How these tools work

File Search

Search the company’s knowledge base.

Extracts data from files.
Indexes data, taking the structure, headings, metadata and format into account, and creates semantic vector representations (embeddings).
Generates a search query using a language model based on the user's instructions and prompt.
Selects relevant components based on both keywords and the general meaning of the documents.
Generates a final response: short, accurate, verified.

What makes AI Search effective

Hybrid text and vector search

It combines classical search and vector representations, ensuring complete answers to large and heterogeneous amounts of data.

Scalable infrastructure

Vector storage without the need to independently deploy, scale, and maintain infrastructure for storing and analyzing data.

Work with large amounts of information

It supports indexing and searching across large corporate data warehouses.

Built-in parsers for complex documents

The component can work with tables, diagrams, images with text and combined content specific to corporate documents.

Compatible with all models in AI Studio

It works with both Yandex’s own models and the open-source ones presented in Model Gallery. Choose the right model for a specific scenario and requirements.

Control of sources and response quality

It flexibly adjusts search parameters and generates answers based on trusted sources, reducing the risk of incorrect generation.

Integrations and connections

Use AI Search as a knowledge source for agents and applications: from chats to background processes.

Set up and test search indexes (knowledge bases).

Connect and run search when creating text agents.

Connect and run search when creating voice agents.

Test it now

Connect search tools to an agent in the interface, without code or additional configuration. See how the model calls the tool, retrieves data, and generates a response based on the sources found.

Example scenarios

Corporate search and answers for employees

Not just a set of disparate facts, documents, and regulations, but a comprehensive, understandable answer based on all the sources available in an organization, in one place.

Support for agent scenarios

This tool empowers your agent. When performing tasks, the agent can connect corporate sources and the internet, using them to generate responses and actions based on relevant data.

Customer services and digital products

Search and answers are embedded in portals, apps, and support services. Users receive quick generative answers about products and services based on current company data.

Working with regulatory and reference data

The search works with regulatory documents, reports, and directories with complex structures. Responses are generated based on data, including quotes and sources in the response.

Search by internal data and on the internet

Two tools can be connected to the agent simultaneously: File Search and Web Search. Depending on the context of the user’s question, the agent decides for himself which tool to call.

Background and analytical scenarios

The component is used in asynchronous processes: analyzing documents, preparing certificates, and enriching data. The results are saved and used in other systems and business processes.

Pricing policy

The cost of AI Search depends on the type of tools and scenarios used: search queries, the volume of indexes stored, and the consumption of generative model tokens when generating responses. You pay for actually calling the tool.
