You.com aspires to contrast search giants with multi-modal search

The startup aims to turn the large language model into multi-modal and provide users with more precise answers to their searches.

You.com is the AI search engine and, unlike every other language model, it can illustrate answers by adding, for example, related charts or images and so perform more precisely the answer.

Stated this feature as the key advantage, You.com founder Richard Socher explained:

"Instead of making up a bunch of numbers, which every other language model would do, we’ll just show you our stock app right there inside the conversation."

There is an opinion that Google search engine focuses mainly on the advertising. Richard Socher aims to define You.com as the “anti-Google” by creating a "search platform that is open and emphasizes directly serving user needs with You.com apps instead of bombarding people with ads".

The company's search solution is a secret, however, Socher would reveal the details later. You.com founder concluded:

"It’s certainly a tough space to compete in, for sure, and you need to build something that is both unique and different, but at the same time good enough to capture most of the things that people currently want from their search engine."
