"Alisa AI" is gradually becoming part of professional routine: users turn to it not only for everyday advice but also for help with work tasks. According to an analysis of queries from January–April 2026, the neural network is already actively used in IT, law, engineering, marketing, sales, office work, industry, and business.
Most professional queries are sent from a computer. Almost a quarter of PC queries — 23.4% — are related to work, science, or career. On weekdays, this share rises to 26%, and on weekends, it drops to 17%. On mobile devices, work-related queries are still fewer — 4.4%, but this segment is growing faster: over the past six months, the indicator has increased by 25%, while on computers, it has increased by 16%.
The most active professional field was information technology: it accounts for 18% of all work-related queries. This is followed by industry and business, law and jurisprudence, engineering, office work, sales, and marketing. At the same time, scenarios vary greatly from profession to profession: IT specialists more often ask for advice or explanations, lawyers and engineers look for precise reference information, and marketers and salespeople more often expect a ready-made result — text, script, letter, or advertisement.
Approximately half of work-related queries are related to information retrieval. Users ask to find a legal article, explain a technical term, select a standard, statistics, or data on a counterparty. Another almost 30% of queries are an attempt to delegate a specific task to the neural network: write a letter, compile a report, prepare a commercial proposal, document template, or text for a client. The remaining queries are related to ideas, advice, and instructions — for example, how to set up an advertising system, choose a career path, or come up with a business idea.
In IT, almost half of the queries — 46% — are for advice and instructions: users ask about careers, stack selection, code errors, or the principles of tool operation. In industry and business, information retrieval dominates — 61% of queries. In the legal field, this indicator is even higher — 69%: users look for legal norms, benefits, the procedure for closing an OOO, or rules for filing applications. In office work, on the contrary, a ready-made document is more often expected: 57% of queries are related to orders, schedules, applications, and templates.
Engineers mainly use "Alisa AI" as a quick reference: 73% of queries are related to technical information, deciphering designations, safety rules, or material characteristics. In sales and marketing, the neural network more often acts as an executor: 46% of queries are requests to write a response to a review, a conversation script, a short advertising text, or other ready-made material. Another 37% of queries in this area are related to ideas and instructions — for example, for SEO, competitor analysis, or promotion.
Yandex notes that in work scenarios, "Alisa AI" most often acts either as an executor of routine tasks or as a partner for reflection. The neural network helps to find data, prepare texts, structure documents, and suggest solutions, but the final choice still rests with the person.
The study is based on anonymized user queries to "Alisa AI" from January to April 2026. From the total flow, 175 thousand random queries were selected and classified according to three criteria: whether the query is related to work, science, or career; what type of answer the user needs; and to which professional field the query belongs.
