2025: Launch of AI assistant line for educators

Yandex has launched a line of AI assistants for teachers based on the YandexGPT family model, which will help teachers and teachers prepare training materials, evaluate students' knowledge faster and check whether they used neural networks when writing work. These tools will complement Yandex's line of AI solutions for education. Yandex announced this on March 5, 2025.

The Neuroquise tool allows you to create validation tests in a few minutes. It is enough to upload educational materials to the platform, and the neural network will generate questions and answer options, including correct and incorrect ones.

This simplifies the knowledge assessment process and frees up teacher time for other tasks.

To check essays, abstracts and other written works, Yandex Education developed a "Neurodetector." It analyzes the text and allows you to determine the degree of its uniqueness - whether it is written by a person or a neural network.

The tool highlights works that could be highly likely to be generated by AI and identifies students who are overly reliant on AI for assignments. At the same time, the conclusions of the "Neurodetector" act only as a recommendation for the teacher, indicating works that require special attention. Both AI assistants are available in your personal account on the Yandex Education website.

The third tool is an AI assistant for computer science teachers in Yandex Textbook. It will help you draw up a lesson plan and choose individual practical tasks of different levels of complexity for each child. The service will tell the teacher how to explain terms and abstract concepts in simple words so that it is easier for students to learn a new topic. It will also be useful when checking homework: it will analyze the student's code, point out errors and figure out the solution. The tool and ready-made promtas for communicating with the AI assistant are available in the chat of the teacher's personal account.

Since 2023, Yandex has been developing educational products and solutions based on neural networks. So, in Yandex Textbook, solutions with an AI assistant are already available: in mathematics for grades 5-8 and for preparing for the Unified State Exam in computer science. Yandex Internum students can turn to the neural network for a brief retelling of the material or for help in working on errors.

In 2024, together with the Higher School of Economics, a pilot project was launched to use YandexGPT in writing thesis: students for the first time used a neural network to solve a predetermined number of tasks that usually take a lot of time. In 2025, new universities and more students will join the project. In addition, in December 2024, Yandex and MIPT taught the neural network to evaluate the answers of the online stage of the Lomonosov Tournament school olympiad. For the first time, YandexGPT checked 35 thousand works in physics, chemistry and astronomy. This made it possible to reduce the stage of evaluation of work from three months to one, while maintaining the quality of the inspection at the same level.
