Mail.Ru Group showed the smart column "Maroussia"

Mail.ru Group showed its smart column “Maroussia”: in the New Year video of the company, she is presented as an assistant to Santa Claus, she writes “Vedomosti”. Officially, the company has not yet held a column presentation.

In June, Mail.ru Group introduced the voice assistant of the same name - the company spent $ 2 million on the development of its own assistant type Siri and Alice. Answering the question, the assistant either sends the user to search for mail.ru or gives a direct response.

Almost all Russian companies applying to the Ecosystem status now have voice assistants and columns: Yandex first launched a vocal assistant, the company recently released its Yandex.STASION column. Tinkoff Bank developed its own voice assistant Oleg. In August of this year, it became known that Sberbank was developing his own assistant to Barbar and a smart column (read more about this in the mailing list).

The speakers become a technical rod for companies that are trying to penetrate the life of every Russian. We wrote more about the war of the Ecosystems here and here .
