The world of AI-powered productivity just took a major leap forward. You.com, an innovator in AI-driven tools for knowledge workers, has raised a $50 million Series B round led by Georgian, with heavyweight participation from Salesforce Ventures, NVIDIA, Gen Digital, SBVA, DuckDuckGo, and others. This brings You.com’s total funding to a striking $99 million.
In the age of artificial intelligence, traditional search engines are no longer enough. You.com is redefining the category—not as a search engine focused on links, but as a productivity engine designed to help knowledge workers accomplish more. The platform’s AI Agents go beyond simple information retrieval: they conduct research, solve complex problems, write and execute code, and generate content, fundamentally transforming workflows across industries.
You.com’s AI productivity engine fundamentally reimagines what a search tool can be by moving beyond simple information retrieval to become an active digital partner for users. Unlike traditional search engines that primarily list links based on keyword matching, You.com leverages large language models (LLMs), natural language processing, and deep learning to deliver personalized, context-aware answers and actionable insights.
Key ways You.com redefines traditional search tools:
From Search to Productivity Hub: You.com transforms search into a productivity engine, enabling users to not just find information, but also write, code, brainstorm, and create directly within the platform. This shift empowers users to accomplish complex tasks without leaving the search environment.
Conversational and Contextual Results: The platform features an AI assistant that interprets queries in a conversational manner, understanding the nuanced semantics and user intent. It synthesizes information, provides summaries, and can even execute follow-up tasks, making interactions more intuitive and efficient.
Custom Assistants and Personalization: Users can create custom AI assistants tailored to specific needs—such as preparing for interviews or generating SEO content—by adding unique instructions and live web access. These assistants can be shared, fostering collaboration and personalized workflows.
Privacy and User Control: You.com prioritizes user privacy by avoiding ad-driven models and ensuring personal data remains confidential. Users have control over the sources and types of results they see, creating a more user-centric and ad-free experience.
Real-Time, Accurate Information: With live web access and a proprietary web index designed for LLMs, You.com delivers up-to-date and trustworthy answers. Its AI operating system is model-agnostic and continually benchmarks for accuracy, addressing one of the biggest challenges in deploying AI at scale.
Multi-Modal and Versatile Search: The platform supports text, voice, and image queries, allowing users to interact in the way that best suits their needs, and making search more flexible and accessible.
Actionable Insights and Integration: Beyond just delivering results, You.com’s AI can analyze, summarize, and integrate information across domains—such as news, e-commerce, or developer tools—providing context and actionable recommendations.
The practical benefits are already clear. At Guardian Recovery, integrating You.com’s AI has reclaimed 15 minutes per case from paperwork, allowing their team to focus on patient care. In the words of their VP of Marketing, these extra moments can be “the difference between recovery and relapse, between life and death.”
In biomedical research, the explosion of genetic sequencing data presents unique challenges. Elucidata, a leader in biomedical data analysis, is collaborating with You.com to launch a large language model (LLM) solution tailored for researchers. The goal: make vast oceans of sequencing data accessible in just a few keystrokes, accelerating the path to better therapies.
You.com’s new Team plan brings “multiplayer AI” to organizations, enabling teams to build and share custom AI Agents, and collaborate in real time within a unified, AI-powered conversation. This approach is already proving invaluable in fast-paced sectors like cybersecurity, where staying ahead means mastering generative AI tools and workflows.
What truly sets You.com apart is its relentless focus on accuracy and user experience. The company has built a model-agnostic AI Operating System that can make any large language model more accurate and trustworthy. Features like live web access, dynamic prompting, and advanced citation logic ensure users receive reliable, up-to-date information—a critical advantage in fields like education and enterprise knowledge work.
You.com’s approach has attracted the attention of industry leaders, with Gen Digital (serving 500 million users worldwide) highlighting the synergy between You.com’s agentic capabilities and the “AI electricity” powering next-gen consumer products.
Since launch, You.com has processed 1 billion queries and achieved a 500% increase in annual recurring revenue (ARR) since January 2024. The company’s B2B focus emphasizes customer success and real-world adoption, not just proof-of-concepts.
With fresh funding and growing enterprise traction, You.com is poised to expand its vision: building the most trusted AI productivity engine for organizations ready to future-proof their workflows.
The AI revolution is here—and You.com is leading the charge.
