In 2024, we at Seznam began to work intensively on developing our own large language models. We expanded the number and use of synthetic voices across our content services. Artificial intelligence also started summarizing posts in Discussions under articles. We enabled users who do not wish to see ads on Seznam services to pay for Seznam products without targeted advertising or Seznam without ads. This allows them to use our services without targeted advertising or completely without visible ads. We made Seznam Garant available to clients and advertisers – an option for direct purchase of advertising campaigns in our inventory. At the end of the year, we launched a premium version of the popular Mapy.com application, allowing interested users to support the development of the entire service. At the same time, we expanded traffic navigation to Slovakia.
