You.com
AI search with direct sourced answers and customizable result preferences. Set your default apps per query type and follow up conversationally without losing context.
Overview
You.com is an AI search engine that gives you direct, sourced answers to questions alongside traditional search results — with a customizable interface that lets you control which sources matter. Where Perplexity focuses on research synthesis, You.com leans into workflow customization: you can set default apps for different query types, enable specialized research modes, and adjust how results are ranked. The AI assistant handles follow-up questions conversationally while staying grounded in cited sources. Researchers, analysts, and knowledge workers use it as a default search replacement when they need answers with traceable sources rather than a list of links to click through.
