Anyone using You? It’s also on the App Store.

Their app description says search with no ads or tracking. Plus they have all these AI tools. Are they just blowing through investments to gain users?

I've been using it for the last month, especially on those days that ChatGPT is down.

Apparently it's based on GPT3 rather than ChatGPT's 3.5, but it's still very usable. It isn't quite as good as ChatGPT at refining an idea through back-and-forth chat but I like it more than the Openai Playground.

Added bonus - very few restrictions, and it's pretty hard to get it to moralize at you.

I'm using you.com/chat as my primary default search engine now. AFAIK they are indeed just blowing money to get users. Though they do have a few paid services (none of which I use tbh).

I have adblock/trackblock so I can't say how they are on that front other than their claims/promises...

How do you compare it to Perplexity? I've bounced back and forth and can't decide which is better, they seem nearly the same to me

I'm not a fan of perplexity as it's not a general use chatbot and instead just answers questions.
