You.com[1] is an AI-powered search engine that offers a personalized search experience. Users can control[2] their search results by upvoting, downvoting, or blocking apps. The company emphasizes its privacy awareness[3][4] and commitment to not selling user data[5] or using invasive targeted ads.[6]

The platform provides a variety of products, such as YouChat, an AI-powered conversational multimodal[7] search assistant, YouWrite,[8] an AI writing assistant to aid with content creation, and YouImagine, an AI image generator. The company was founded in 2020 by Richard Socher,[9] the former Chief Scientist at Salesforce, and Bryan McCann,[10] a former Lead Research Scientist in NLP at Salesforce.

YouChat

On December 23, 2022,[11] You.com released[12] YouChat, an AI-powered conversational search assistant. It is designed to provide natural-sounding, accurate outputs, answer complex questions, explain concepts, suggest ideas,[13] translate texts,[14] summarize articles, compose emails[11] and write code snippets. It stays up-to-date with current events[15] and cites its sources so that users can ensure that it provides accurate answers.

On February 7th, 2023,[16] You.com introduced YouChat 2.0.[17]

The upgraded version of YouChat incorporates advanced conversational AI technology[18] and community-built applications. YouChat 2.0’s blended large language model, named C-A-L[18] (Chat, Apps, and Links),[11] provides various types of results, such as charts,[19] photos,[7] videos, tables, graphs, text or code, so users can find answers without leaving the search results page.

The YouChat interface combines chat functionality with up-to-date information from platforms such as Reddit,[20] TikTok, Stack Overflow[6] and Wikipedia.

In 2022, You.com[1] surpassed over one million active users,[3] with the number of searches growing over 400% in 6 months.[8]

YouWrite

YouWrite[21] is an AI writing tool[22] that helps writers,[17] authors, and bloggers of all levels overcome writer's block and improve their skills. It assists in creating various types of written content[22] including emails, blog posts, novels, essays and social media posts.

The platform uses OpenAI's GPT-3[23] language model to generate personalized content for users based on key information[24] like text type, target audience, and desired tone. Users can generate up to 10 inquiries a day with the free version of YouWrite.

YouImagine

YouImagine[25] is an AI-powered[26] image-generation tool that utilizes models like Stable Diffusion 1.5 and 2.0,[11] Open Journey, and Anime.

Models within YouImagine, like Stable Diffusion,[25] allow users to create AI-generated images[27] using text. The Stable Diffusion model runs on Stability.ai’s[28] state-of-the-art open source model.

YouCode

On July 14th, 2022,[29] You.com launched YouCode[30] which offers quick and easy access to a range of resources like StackOverflow and GitHub, among others.

It aims to provide programmers with an easy way to find solutions to their coding problems.[19] YouCode offers an array of features, such as a search bar that understands plain language, AI code generation tools,[31] code samples and a collection of relevant resources.

In addition, it enables developers to search for code snippets[29][32] and access relevant documentation,[33] and academic publications[29] all within the same window.

YouCode also provides several developer-specific tools, such as a code editor and a debugging console.[11] Additionally, YouCode's built-in tools can verify JSON files[30][32] and generate color codes in various formats like HEX, RGB, and HSV.[23]

Open Platform

The You.com[1] open search platform[8] lets external developers and organizations[29] create custom applications[3] called "Search Apps"[8] for the search results page. This benefits both users and developers as it allows users to customize their search experience while helping developers gain exposure and revenue.[34]

You.com currently offers more than 200 first-party apps[20][27] that allow users to find summarized information or complete tasks without leaving the results page.

Users have the ability to positively or negatively influence[35] future rankings of any app by giving a thumbs up or down,[36][3] and can also block them from appearing in search results altogether. These features empower users to take control[2] of their search experience.
