Yandex Maps AI chat learns to find places along a route between two points

Yandex updated the AI chat in Yandex Maps: the model now builds a segment between two user-specified points (for example a dorm and a campus building) and recommends venues along it, or near a single landmark. If nothing matches nearby, the chat widens the search area or notes which criteria the found places do not meet. The update is framed around students settling into a new city.
