Create Your Personalized AI Assistants with You.com and Leading Language Models!

You.com, a Palo Alto-based startup, has launched Custom Assistants, a pioneering feature that enables users to create personalized AI assistants using top language models (LLMs) like GPT-4o, Llama 3, and Claude 3, all within a single interface. This advancement in conversational AI aims to make powerful language models more accessible and customizable to individual needs.

“Our launch empowers users to take control of this technology, allowing them to train AI tailored to their applications,” said Richard Socher, founder and CEO of You.com. “We’ve consistently innovated in the LLM space, from being the first to connect LLMs to the web in 2022 to now enabling anyone to personalize their own assistant.”

The platform caters to users of all technical levels, allowing them to select from various LLMs and customize their assistant’s behavior through tailored instructions. “While a lot of people are excited about LLMs, few truly engage with the technology,” Socher noted. “Now, this empowers users to have real ownership and control.”

Custom Assistants are designed to enhance productivity in complex tasks. “We excel in handling intricate work-related inquiries,” Socher emphasized, highlighting the platform’s role in creating knowledge assistants that improve productivity in intellectual work.

Early adopters across different industries are already leveraging Custom Assistants for tasks such as generating interview questions, brainstorming marketing content, personalized study help, and language practice. This technology has the potential to reshape knowledge work in fields like healthcare, finance, and education.

You.com distinguishes itself with a strong commitment to accuracy. “While creating a basic LLM is simple, achieving the level of accuracy we provide at You.com is a challenge,” Socher explained. The platform’s live web access ensures assistants deliver the most current information, often ahead of other LLMs, prioritizing relevance and reliability in their responses.

Creating a Custom Assistant is easy: users simply visit You.com, select “More,” then “Add New.” From there, they can choose from leading LLMs, provide custom instructions, enable live web access, and even upload files for the assistant to utilize. This service is free for all You.com users, with unlimited queries available for YouPro subscribers.

In the evolving landscape of digital innovation, You.com introduces AI that goes beyond basic utility to become a personalized companion. This Palo Alto startup heralds a quiet revolution—an assistant expertly tailored to meet your specific needs. The future of AI is not only intelligent; it is uniquely yours.
