Discover AI modes on You.com to boost your productivity and creativity. Elevate your AI experience — try them today!
At You.com, our commitment has always been about making an AI assistant that helps you become more productive, creative, and extraordinary.
That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce AI modes — including Smart, Genius, Research, and Create — designed to deliver answers with unparalleled accuracy, transparency, and citations in an intuitive and user-friendly manner.
The introduction of these AI modes makes it easier to experience the vast capabilities of AI, from finding the best answers quickly and visualizing information to creating content and images effortlessly. A key achievement of these new AI modes is the reduced need for excessive prompt engineering, a challenge that often hinders broader adoption of Large Language Model (LLM) proficiency by the general public.
Introducing AI Modes
Smart Mode
Smart Mode, the free default mode on You.com, offers quick, reliable responses with live web access, citations, and sources. Notably, You.com was the first consumer-facing LLM in late 2022 to provide real-time access to the internet, allowing for up-to-date answers with sources and citations.

Write a thank-you note after a job interview
Genius Mode
Genius Mode offers multistep computational abilities combined with data visualization through charts and plots and file uploads (PDFs, text, images, etc.), a capability unmatched by any other LLM in the market. What’s more, Genius Mode makes these advanced capabilities accessible and enjoyable for users of all levels when it comes to AI.

Prompts to try for file uploads:
📸 Want to summarize a white paper? Upload the PDF and request, ‘Give me five key insights.’
📄 Need to review handwritten math homework? Upload it and ask, ‘Check the answers.’
✅ Unsure about an ingredient? Upload a photo and ask, ‘What is this, and what can I make with it?
Research Mode
Research Mode excels in providing comprehensive yet digestible reports with extensive source citations and references, including for real-time news events. Leveraging You.com’s foundation in web search and indexing, Research Mode delivers more citations with links than simple AI chatbots, providing for unparalleled accuracy and transparency. Additionally, its ability to create comparative tables makes it an ideal tool for tasks like decision-making.

Create Mode
Create Mode transforms any concept into an AI image in an unlimited array of styles or a chart or plot. Envision it as a blank canvas solely dedicated to AI artistry. It eliminates the need for prompt engineering command inputs like “draw” or “create,” making the process more seamless and intuitive.
