Overview
You.com builds AI search and research infrastructure for developers and enterprises, having moved away from its original consumer search engine. It offers Web Search, Contents, Answer, Research and Finance Research APIs, an MCP server and the ARI research agent, and its platform routes each task across multiple data sources and models. Founded in 2020 in Palo Alto by former Salesforce researchers Richard Socher and Bryan McCann, it handles more than a billion queries a month for customers such as DuckDuckGo, Windsurf and Harvey and raised a $100 million Series C led by Cox Enterprises in 2025.
