Hey HN — I’m a PM at You.com.We just made our web search API free to use via MCP, so AI agents can call real-time web search without managing API keys or billing.If you’re building with Cursor, Claude Desktop, OpenAI, or your own MCP-compatible agent, you can plug in our MCP server and get:
• Real-time web results
• Structured answers (news, web, RAG-friendly output)
• No cost for search via...
Hey! I'd love to contribute to this directory. My personal website is
https://sparker.co - it's my professional presence where I share thoughts on product development and the tech industry. I work in Product at You.com and am passionate about building great user experiences.
Are you implying that they are going to be inside of the chat response
Yeah I guess anything is possible but it takes effort
I would love to run all of these through DALLE2
Ohio needs to unite the 3 C's and dominate tech, healthcare and insurance, there is so much talent and a little capital goes a really long way.
I'm a product manager working on code.you.com. This is good feedback and an interesting suggestion. We'll work on adding those special characters, variables and casing to make the search better for coding.
We're just getting started but working really hard to make this something special. There is a fairly active slack community if you have any other suggestions and want to share. thx.
Social search has been attempted so many times.
Google tried it in 2009, failed.
Microsoft tried it in 2013, failed.
Startups across the board have tried it.
I think it is because "social" usually implies to a user that they are searching for a person, not the content they create. And previously, there wasn't a ton of UGC that was relevant to a query.
Disclaimer: I'm a You.com employee working on search.
ActiveCampaign is a huge company, I remember when they were the scrappy new guys
This is one of the reasons I love working for You.com.
SEO is killing Google and it needs to be addressed before it kills the internet. Having the opportunity to build an app that solves a search, instead of perpetuating a spam system, has been really rewarding... and we're just getting started.
SEO is dead. Nothing matters anymore except personalized SERP.
I’m building this at the moment :)

Lebron is also a genuinely good human being and as a Clevelander, I wish him the best of luck in LA.

Pay wall. Anyone have a link to a cached version?
I believe the actual problem this solves, the "killer application," is already out there.
I'm starting a new project for verified reviews: reviews that are "peer reviewed" by others in the community. I am still in stealth mode but I'm working to solve this:

brillant growth-hacking from the metamask team :)
The United States is not a corporation or a startup and should not be treated as such.
Because this is paid advertising... not opinions, but promoted media.
Twitter is an American company, and is publicly traded as such. They have a responsibility to appease shareholders. This isn't really about politics at all, or patriotism, it's about money.
Interesting. Is there way to subscribe to these?
