@stripe's new Directory indexes services for AI agents to discover and integrate autonomously—and https://t.co/X0opjot3NT is in the example on their docs page. 🔎

If you search "free web search" in the Stripe directory, boom, @youdotcom shows up.

Is your product findable by machines? That's the real question.

[You.com @youdotcom]

Join us at Tesla tomorrow at 10am for breakfast with founders and AI builders. 🍳

We'll have panels and discuss agents, infra, evals, production systems.
Real talk from teams at @Workday, @Salesforce, @Snowflake, @Cisco, @IBM, and @SAP.

Then, @Tesla demos and a light show. 🚗⚡

[Remy @buildwithRemy]

Building a real-time intelligence app used to mean weeks of work.

Not anymore.

Remy x @YoudotCom — live web intelligence is now baked into every app Remy generates. Zero setup, zero retrieval wiring.

Search. News. Research. Page extraction. Financial data.
Describe the product. Ship the app. 🚀

[You.com @youdotcom]

Developers spend a full sprint wiring up retrieval before writing a single line of product logic.

Instead, live web data should compile in—the same way auth or a database does. ⚙️

That's why we built the @youdotcom Web Search APIs. Even better, they’re now part of what @buildwithremy creates.

@justinkan we love the idea of @NousResearch X @youdotcom

Finally got agent pilled and set up Hermes agent on Opus, https://t.co/ZIPvi75I7T for search, connected to whatsapp, told it to install Gstack on itself. Feels like I'm playing Productivity(TM): The Video Game. I'm addicted.

Honored to be working with @PolarBearby at @youdotcom and calling him a friend! Congrats, Ricardo!

[Jeff Dean @JeffDean]

Delighted to see that Ricardo Baeza-Yates (@PolarBearby) is this year's winner of the @TheOfficialACM Luiz Barroso Award (an award named in honor of my longtime Google colleague).

Ricardo is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost researchers in information retrieval, and many of you may have read is excellent textbook Modern Information Retrieval (co-authored with Berthier Ribeiro-Neto). He has also played a pivotal role in strengthening the Latin American computing community.

Ricardo's accomplishments and selection would make Luiz proud!

gpt-oss from @OpenAI has a new search tool - @youdotcom

Developers building with OpenAI's open-source reasoning models can now easily use our web search API.

We've already seen incredible momentum with our API. We're doing more than 1B queries per month for amazing customers like DuckDuckGo, Windsurf, Harvey and many others. We've signed more incredible customers since we announced our $100M Series C last week. More soon.

[Adam Silverman (Hiring!) 🖇️ @adamsilverman]

It was great getting to chat about ARI (Advanced Research & Insights) - the first professional-grade deep research agent purpose-built for business.

Instead of spending $100K+ on whitepapers and reports that take weeks, you can now get polished PDF reports from ARI in 5 mins.

2024 was an incredible year for you .com. We grew revenue by 40x into the 8 digits. I want to thank our many large enterprise customers and pro subscribers.

There's a lot of hype in AI but ultimately knowledge workers and companies need accurate answers and reliable workflow automation with agents.

Several of our largest customers first had to fail with a Copilot or ChatGPT and then learned about our solution. They like our superior accuracy, not just of the answers but also the citations and search backend over massive, complex or fast-changing datasets.

The speed of change has been incredible so having quick access to all the best LLMs, all while being connected to the most accurate web search backend and your own company-internal data is incredibly powerful for our enterprise customers.

Our platform powers some of the largest companies in the world now. We provide over 20M answers on many days across our ydc product and APIs. It's exciting to see an extremely positive NDR in enterprise and our customers growing their usage.

The future of knowledge work is already here but not equally distributed. If you want to skip the hype and POCs and become more productive, we're here to help.

2025 will be incredible!
