You.com is a search engine that offers a personalized search by letting its users upvote, downvote, or block apps.[1] The platform provides a variety of products, such as the chatbot YouChat,[2] OpenAI-powered writing tool YouWrite,[3] and AI-image generator YouImagine, which utilizes models like Stable Diffusion and Open Journey. The company was founded in 2020 by Richard Socher,[4][better source needed] the former Chief Scientist at Salesforce, and Bryan McCann,[5][better source needed] a former Lead Research Scientist in NLP at Salesforce.

YouChat

On December 23, 2022, You.com released YouChat,[6] an AI-powered conversational search assistant. It is designed to provide natural-sounding and accurate outputs, answer complex questions, explain concepts, suggest ideas,[7] translate texts,[8] summarize articles, compose emails[6] and write code snippets. It stays up-to-date with current events[9] and cites its sources.

On February 7th, 2023,[10] You.com introduced YouChat 2.0.[11]

The upgraded version of YouChat incorporates advanced conversational AI technology[12] and community-built applications. YouChat 2.0’s blended large language model, named C-A-L[12] (Chat, Apps, and Links),[6] provides various types of results, such as charts,[13] photos,[2] 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,[14] TikTok, Stack Overflow[15] and Wikipedia.

In 2022, You.com surpassed one million active users,[16] with the number of searches growing over 400% in six months.[17]

YouWrite

YouWrite[18] is an AI writing tool[19] that helps writers,[11] authors, and bloggers of all levels overcome writer's block and improve their skills. It assists in creating various types of written content[19] including emails, blog posts, novels, essays and social media posts.

The platform uses OpenAI's GPT-3[20] language model to generate personalized content for users based on key information[21] 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 is an AI-powered[22] image-generation tool that utilizes models like Stable Diffusion 1.5 and 2.0,[6] Open Journey, and Anime.

Models within YouImagine, like Stable Diffusion,[23] allow users to create AI-generated images[24] using text. The Stable Diffusion model runs on Stability.ai's[25] state-of-the-art open source model.

YouCode

On July 14th, 2022,[26] You.com launched YouCode[27] which offers quick and easy access to a range of resources like Stack Overflow and GitHub, among others.

It aims to provide programmers with an easy way to find solutions to their coding problems.[13] YouCode offers an array of features, such as a search bar that understands plain language, AI code generation tools,[28] code samples and a collection of relevant resources.

In addition, it enables developers to search for code snippets[26][29] and access relevant documentation,[30] and academic publications[26] all within the same window.

YouCode also provides several developer-specific tools, such as a code editor and a debugging console.[6] Additionally, YouCode's built-in tools can verify JSON files[27][29] and generate color codes in various formats like HEX, RGB, and HSV.[20]

Open Platform

The You.com open-search platform[17] lets external developers and organizations[26] create custom applications[16] called "Search Apps"[17] 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.[31]

You.com currently offers more than 200 first-party apps[14][24] that allow users to find summarized information or complete tasks without leaving the results page.

Users have the ability to positively or negatively influence[32] future rankings of any app by giving a thumbs up or down,[33][16] and can also block them from appearing in search results altogether.
