About
You.com is an AI-powered search engine that puts user privacy and personalization at the center of the search experience. Unlike Google or Bing, You.com does not build advertising profiles on users, does not sell personal data, and offers a highly customizable search interface where users choose which sources and apps appear in their results.
The platform integrates an AI chat assistant (YouChat) directly into search results, allowing users to ask conversational questions and get AI-generated answers alongside traditional search results. You.com also features specialized apps for coding (YouCode), image generation (YouImagine), and research that can be pinned or removed from the results page based on individual preferences.
You.com has positioned itself as a privacy-respecting Google alternative that combines the comprehensiveness of traditional web search with the intelligence of modern AI assistants.
