We've just made using AI easier for you, by leaving the agent selection up to us. You.com's redesigned query bar—with a default "Auto" mode—is now the smartest way to research. It considers your particular query and instantly chooses the perfect AI to meet your needs; no manual switching required.

All those powerful Research, Compute, and Create agents you love? They're still here—just smarter, faster, and more accessible than ever. Auto mode analyzes your query in real time and deploys the exact tool for each use case.

And, you can now choose “Auto” when building your own agents instead of having to pick a specific model.

Why it matters

✅ No more hesitation about which agent to choose✅ Less friction between you and the insights you need✅ More intuitive interactions

Use cases: How Auto mode can help across industries

  • Healthcare professional's research query: When a healthcare professional searches for medical research or patient diagnostics, Auto mode can select specialized models built for processing complex medical information. The selected agent would prioritize accuracy and reliability in medical information processing, helping healthcare workers manage patient care and stay updated with the latest research.
  • Financial analyst's market analysis query: For financial market analysis queries, Auto mode will likely select models especially suited for processing numerical data, detecting patterns in market trends, and performing complex financial calculations. The agent would be adept at analyzing market conditions, generating trading insights, and automating routine financial reporting tasks.
  • Manufacturing operations manager's query: When dealing with manufacturing-related searches, Auto mode will likely deploy an AI agent specialized in predictive analytics and process optimization. The agent may be picked for its ability to process sensor data, predict maintenance needs, and optimize production schedules.

  • HR professional's recruitment query: For human resources queries, Auto mode can elect agents that excel at tasks such as resume analysis and candidate screening, employee inquiry responses, or onboarding document generation. The selected AI agent can help streamline recruitment processes and automate routine HR tasks while maintaining accuracy in personnel-related matters.

It’s AI, simplified

This is more than a redesign. It's rethinking how AI should serve you. No need to figure out the right agent—we’ll do it for you. Just type, and let Auto handle the rest. Searching for a specific AI model or your favorite custom agent? They're still just a click away. AI has never been simpler to use, so get started today and accelerate your productivity.
