You (You.com) offers an AI-driven search experience that parses queries, ranks results, summarizes content and exposes built-in apps such as YouCode and YouWrite for coding and writing tasks. The product emphasizes privacy (a private mode that doesn't store queries, preferences, IP or location) and a platform approach that favors apps over advertising. The company reports hundreds of thousands of users, 70% growth in sign-ups last month, 30% month-over-month growth in unique searches, and a 50% retention rate among users who set You as their default. You has invested heavily in in-house app development and plans to open its data sets and custom search technology to third-party developers. Future monetization plans include premium features, API access, and paid advanced or personalized text and code generation and support for internal developer knowledge bases. The startup was co-founded in 2020 by Richard Socher and Bryan McCann; recent fundraising will be used to develop premium features and expand third-party developer collaboration.
