Founded by Richard Socher and Bryan McCann, You.com is a collaborative AI provider which develops AI Agents to optimize the productivity of knowledge workers through research and analysis, complex problem solving, content creation, and more.
The company already offers advanced proprietary AI agents for research and problem-solving — third-party benchmarked for unparalleled accuracy — and lets people create custom AI agents on top of any AI model for any task.
- Research Agent: In minutes, the agent executes multiple searches from one prompt, analyzes dozens of sources, and delivers a comprehensive report with more citations than any other LLM.
- Genius Agent: Solve complex problems with a conversational prompt. Explain what users want to accomplish in natural language, and it will use Python code and chain-of-thought reasoning to solve the problem precisely.
- Custom Agent: Create a Custom Agent for any task using models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, Google, and more. Marketing teams can train the AI to follow a brand’s voice and style guide, and work collaboratively with the AI Agent without manual prompting each time. In addition, workers can easily share their Custom Agent with colleagues, ensuring consistent standards and streamlined workflows.
Companies can also integrate You.com’s APIs to enhance their products with AI and information from the web.
Since launching in November 2021, You.com has served 1 billion queries and has millions of active users across hedge funds, tech unicorns, and multiple publicly traded companies. Its ARR has grown by 500% since January 2024.
