Yandex Built a Search Box. Then It Put the City Inside It.
The company that taught a search engine Russian grammar now wants to route the commute, deliver dinner, recommend the film and answer the question - all on the same machine-learning spine.
Ask Media Group
Ask Jeeves taught the early web to accept a question in plain English. Three decades later, its corporate descendant became a sophisticated traffic-and-advertising machine - and a case study in what happens when a media business depends on someone else’s search ecosystem.
Orama
Orama is an open-source search company building an 'answer engine' for developers - a lightweight, high-performance stack that bundles full-text, vector, and hybrid search with automatic embedding generation and built-in LLMs. Started as the open-source project Lyra and incorporated as OramaSearch Inc. in 2023 by Issac Roth and Michele Riva, its core library ships in under 2KB and runs in the browser, on servers, or at the edge. Orama powers site search and AI answers for developer platforms including nodejs.org, tanstack.com, and solidjs.org, and its OramaCore runtime packages a search engine, vector database, and LLM interface into one deployable unit.
