According to a report by CNews published on June 1, Russia’s Ministry of Digital Development has added an “AI Assistant for Officials” to the country’s registry of domestic software. Developed by Russian IT company InCase Corp, the system is intended for use across government agencies.
According to the report, the platform uses the Ollama AI engine for text generation and processing. Ollama was created by developers Jeffrey Morgan and Mike Chang. The system’s long-term memory, search functions, and data retrieval capabilities are powered by ChromaDB, an open-source database project developed by Jeff Huber and Anton Troynikov.
CNews reported that the use of open-source software allows the platform to operate entirely within government networks without sending data to external cloud services. Documentation reviewed by the outlet states that the system complies with Russian information security requirements and is designed to function in isolated government environments.
The developer, InCase Corp, specializes in electronic document management systems and reportedly generates annual revenue of approximately 100 million rubles. According to CNews, the company’s sole owner is Roman Rymarovich. Its clients include Russia’s Ministry of Sport, the Federal Medical-Biological Agency, and other state institutions.
Documentation cited by CNews describes the AI assistant as a tool intended to streamline information processing and administrative workflows. Its functions include helping organize information, generating task lists, and removing inappropriate language from reports.
One of the system’s primary applications is meeting management. According to the documentation, the assistant can identify speakers, separate their remarks, match audio segments with employee identities, and convert spoken discussions into formal administrative language.
The software is also designed to extract assignments from meetings, identify deadlines, and determine responsible personnel. The system does not make management decisions or assess the appropriateness of official actions, according to the documentation cited by CNews.
Earlier, Ukraine’s military intelligence warned that Russia is steadily tightening control over its digital space by restricting foreign platforms and steering users toward state-monitored online services.
