What is it

You.com operates as both a consumer AI agent platform and a developer-facing web search API provider. On the consumer side, it offers a multi-LLM hub where users interact with Smart, Research, Compute, Creative, and Custom Agents backed by live web search. On the developer side, it provides Search, Contents, Research, and Finance Research APIs that power AI systems, agents, and data pipelines.

What it can do

Query a Smart Agent for real-time answers with web citations; run deep research across the open web with source-backed reports; solve technical problems through a Compute Agent; generate images via a Creative Agent; build and share Custom Agents with personalized instructions and data sources; and integrate real-time web search, content extraction, and financial intelligence into applications through REST APIs and SDKs.

Who is it for

Researchers who need cited, up-to-date information; developers building AI apps that require real-time web intelligence; teams creating reusable custom agents for specific workflows; content creators who want to compare outputs across GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, and other models; and financial analysts seeking structured, source-reconciled market intelligence.

Key Features

Smart Agent – Real-Time AI Search & Answers

Ask questions and receive answers grounded in live web search with inline citations. The Smart Agent pulls from current sources rather than relying solely on training data, making it suitable for queries about recent events, trending topics, and fast-moving subjects.

Multi-LLM Hub – Access Leading Models in One Place

Chat with and compare outputs from GPT-4o, OpenAI o1, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini Pro, and other models without managing multiple subscriptions. You.com integrates new models quickly, often on the same day they are released, and automatically selects the best model for a given prompt.

Research Agent – Deep Web Research with Citations

Conduct multi-step research across the open web and receive source-backed answers with inline references. The Research Agent uses a search-and-synthesis pipeline that reads multiple sources, reconciles conflicting information, and produces well-cited reports ranked #1 in DeepSearchQA benchmarks.

Custom Agents – Personalized AI Assistants

Build tailored AI agents by selecting a base model, adding specific instructions, and connecting internet access or personalization. Custom Agents can be saved, reused, and shared with team workspaces — eliminating repetitive prompting for recurring tasks like interview prep, SEO feedback, or proposal drafting.

Use Cases

Research with cited web sources

Researchers and students ask the Research Agent to investigate topics across the live web, receiving multi-source summaries with traceable citations instead of unverified model hallucinations.

Coding and technical queries

Developers use the Compute Agent to debug code, understand algorithms, and solve math problems, comparing outputs across Claude, GPT-4o, and Gemini to find the most accurate solution.

Content creation and image generation

Marketers and bloggers generate blog drafts, social copy, and custom images through the Creative Agent and Custom Agents, grounding content in real-time web data for accuracy.

Financial research and analysis

Financial analysts query the Finance Research API to retrieve cited, source-reconciled intelligence across filings, macro data, and market calculations — avoiding fiscal-year and unit errors common in generic search.
