VK Tech Rolls Out Unified AI Assistant Across VK WorkSpace Corporate Tools

VK Tech is preparing a unified AI Assistant for its VK WorkSpace platform, along with semantic search and an MCP server to connect autonomous agents. The features target small and medium businesses as well as large corporations by automating routine tasks in messaging, email, and calendar services. Semantic search will allow users to locate documents, emails, and messages by meaning rather than exact titles or phrasing. Meeting recordings will be automatically transcribed with extraction of key topics, decisions, and action items. The AI Assistant launches first in the Messenger module of the On-Premise version, with cloud SaaS availability scheduled for October and later expansion to Mail, Disk, and Calendar. Access remains strictly limited by user permissions and company policies. An MCP server will also be introduced, enabling AI agents to query data, prepare meeting materials, and perform actions inside the platform services, initially supporting Messenger and extending to other modules by year-end.

VK WorkSpace Federation Enables Secure Multi-Organization On-Premise Messaging Without Infrastructure Merge

VK Tech has released federation capabilities for its VK WorkSpace corporate messenger that connect independent On-Premise installations while preserving each organization's full control over data, administration, and security policies. The feature, first piloted in November 2025 and expanded in the July 2026 26.2 release, supports multi-party chats across more than two separate environments. Federation relies on mutual trust establishment and per-user access grants rather than full directory replication or proxy access to a single host instance. Each participating organization maintains local copies of messages, files, and chat metadata, allowing continued access even if a partner installation becomes unavailable. The architecture deliberately avoids both centralized hosting and open protocols such as Matrix to keep changes to the existing messenger core minimal. Administrators retain independent levers to create or revoke trusts and to limit which employees may communicate externally.
