Excited to share that @youdotcom just raised $100M Series C at a $1.5B valuation, led by @CoxEnterprises We’ve been heads down building the search infrastructure for the AI and agent future. Soon there will be more AI agents using the web than humans, but today’s search wasn’t built for this. Agents need deep, contextual information from both public web and internal private data to make real decisions. Our web search API delivers the most up-to-date, accurate, and fastest search results for LLMs and agents. Real benchmarks show we consistently outperform the competition on accuracy and speed while staying cost-effective.https://x.com/RichardSocher/status/1963277700711461241
