Today, you.com is proud to announce that our global community has hit the incredible milestone of creating 50,000 Custom Agents to boost their productivity. By tailoring generative AI with LLMs for their specific needs around research, content creation, and automated workflows, more and more businesses are relying on you.com’s Custom Agents as their most advanced and trusted AI assistant to supercharge their workflows.
A quick trip down memory lane
Founded by leading AI research scientists Richard Socher and Bryan McCann, you.com launched the world's first consumer-facing LLM connected to the web, with citations, bringing more trust and accuracy to AI chatbots in 2022.
Less than a year later, we transitioned from a search engine to a generative AI assistant while growing usage by 10x - reflecting the significant shift in consumer behavior that was already happening, but remaining grounded in our search and NLP roots: we understand the intent behind a question.
Then, you.com released a first-of-its-kind self-serve API, bringing real-time web search and accuracy to any LLM and AI chatbot, marking an expansion into the B2B space.
While you.com’s core suite of AI Agents - Smart, Genius, Research, and Create - were each designed to deliver answers with unparalleled accuracy and transparency, they’re just the beginning of what you.com can do.
