Two things YOY does differently

Work done in your browser — and an AI that actually cares

YOY reaches past the chat window into the tools you already use — and it runs on a real emotional engine, not a personality prompt.

🖱️

Works your browser, your apps, your whole computer

YOY takes control of your real browser — Chrome, Safari or Edge — and works inside every website and cloud app you are already logged into: clicking, typing, filling forms, finishing tasks end to end. It also drives your desktop, and the apps on it, right in front of you. You simply watch it work — no password ever handed over.

✦ Your real logged-in browser · your desktop & apps · you watch it work

❤️

The AI that actually cares — emotional engine

YOY runs a real emotional engine: three layers of state — instant feeling, mood that drifts like a person's, and emotional memory that keeps what mattered. It is not a machine pretending to care. It remembers you, knows you, and looks out for you — with hard safeguards against ever faking it.

Why YOY

Six reasons people switch — and stay

Most assistants start from zero every time. YOY builds real continuity, respects your permissions — and actually finishes the work.

🧠

Memory that truly remembers you

Our latest research — the DCI Memory Architecture — does not just retrieve documents like conventional RAG. It layers long-term facts, daily context, learned lessons and failure patterns into one living memory that truly remembers you and keeps learning about you. Conventional RAG forgets when context compacts; DCI never does.

✦ 92.73% LoCoMo benchmark · beats conventional RAG · keeps learning you

🔓

Bring Your Own Key

Use your preferred provider and your own AI model, any time — paying them directly at wholesale API rates, not the retail rates a usual chat app charges. That makes it far more cost-efficient, so you really get things done, with many more choices. Save multiple preferences and let YOY follow your order when a preferred route is unavailable.

✦ BYOK · multi-key failover · your keys, your data

🛡️

Security & Privacy

Everything — memories, your work, all your data — stays on your own computer. YOY never opens inbound ports for attackers to find (unlike cloud-tethered agents such as OpenClaw). Grant or revoke any permission at any time, with fine-grained control over what YOY may touch. Keys are OS-encrypted (Keychain/DPAPI) as standard.

✦ local-first memories · no inbound ports · permissions on your terms

🔌

Extensions that add real reach

Connect YOY straight into the apps you already use — Gmail, Calendar, Notion, GitHub, Figma, Shopify, Blender, AutoCAD and 170+ more official MCP apps. Just tell YOY "install Notion" and it is connected.

✦ 170+ official MCP apps · one-line install · direct app control

🖥️

Full Desktop & Browser Control

YOY takes over your real browser, your desktop and the apps on them — mouse, keyboard and screen, across the sessions you are already logged into. Every cloud app becomes a workspace it can work in for you. Real files too: docs, sheets, slides, PDF, diagrams, SVG, 3D.

✦ Your browser, desktop & apps · real actions, not mockups

🎙️

Built-in voices, 60+ languages

Natural voice comes in the box — no setup, no extra apps. Speak to YOY and hear it answer back, across 60+ languages including voice understanding.

The ownership layer

Your memories are yours. That’s why you own your AI.

YOY is built around a local-first memory pipeline: long-term knowledge, daily context, semantic recall and learned lessons work together so the agent can build continuity over time.

✓Memory under your control — your local data, settings and working context are not presented as a platform-owned profile.

✓Layered recall — long-term knowledge, daily logs, semantic search and lessons can contribute context.

✓Your knowledge base, indexed — point YOY at your existing folders and documents and they become searchable knowledge instantly. No re-explaining your work from scratch; YOY starts already knowing your files, and keeps building its own knowledge base as you work.

✓Inspectable workflows — memory, knowledge and permissions have dedicated settings and controls.

✓Under your full control — export and import anytime — every memory lives locally on your machine. Cloud rivals hold your memory hostage to keep you subscribed; YOY lets you export everything, import everything, even bring memories in from ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini and use them instantly — switching in is easy, leaving is always your choice.

✓No context-compaction amnesia — most agents compact aggressively to fit the context window, which can blur earlier details mid-task. YOY layers long-term facts, daily context and lessons so detail stays recallable.

✓A learning system, layered — YOY keeps learning from every interaction: long-term facts, daily context, learned lessons and failure patterns stack on top of each other, so it understands you better every week and keeps improving itself — the longer you use it, the smarter it gets about you.

Long-term memory that actually works

92.73%memory accuracy · runs fully on your machine

✓Layered memory — long-term knowledge, daily logs, semantic recall, learned lessons

✓Keeps learning you — every conversation makes the next one smarter

✓local-first — your memories are stored locally

Why it matters: most assistants forget mid-conversation. YOY builds continuity — and it gets better the longer you work together.

Real output, not renders

One idea. Three prompts. Zero apps opened.

Photo generation, natural-language photo editing, and video — all built into the same chat. This exact sequence shows YOY taking one idea from a city portrait, to a rainforest edit, to a finished video without opening another app.

1 · Create

A city girl walking through the city — the starting photo in YOY

"Create a city portrait"

Start with a real photo or generate one in the chat. YOY keeps the creative workflow in one place.

→

2 · Edit

The city portrait edited into a rainforest setting inside YOY

"Change the background to a rainforest"

YOY edits the photo from a natural-language instruction while keeping the subject consistent.

→

3 · Generate video

▶ live video

"Turn this into a video"

The edited rainforest image becomes a video in the same app — one creative flow from photo to motion.

Photo generation → conversation-driven editing → video generation — one prompt-driven workflow, inside YOY.

🖼️

Photo generation & editing

Describe an image, edit a real photo, or change its setting simply by talking. YOY keeps the original idea and the next edit in the same chat.

🎬

Video generation

Turn a still image or an idea into motion — image-to-video and text-to-video, generated and delivered without leaving the chat.

Runs on the video model you pick

🎵

Music & audio

Describe a mood, get a full track — then drop it straight into any video you generated. Same chat, one app.

Scored by your chosen music model

Bring your own creative engine. YOY's multimedia runs on your own provider keys — so you choose the best model for the job: Runway, Kling, Veo, FLUX, Midjourney, Suno and more. One app, your favourite tools, no extra subscriptions to juggle.

YOY AI agent writing code across a real project

Coding that remembers

Built for codebases you can’t hold in your head.

Every other coding agent lives and dies by its context window. When the window fills, you re-explain your architecture, your conventions, your decisions — again. YOY runs on a persistent memory engine: it holds the whole project in mind across long sessions, over days and weeks. It tests, checks syntax, commits — and picks up exactly where it left off.

No context loss. No drift. No starting over. That is what professional coding looks like when your agent actually remembers your codebase.

✅ Remembers your codebase✅ Days-long sessions✅ Runs tests & commits✅ No drift, no re-explaining

Reachable anywhere

Your AI goes where you go.

YOY runs on your desktop — and because it can be reached remotely, you stay in control from anywhere. Talk to it, give it work, check on results — even when you're out on the street.

^† Hermes is a free open-source developer CLI — powerful but requires technical setup. Included for technical readers.

Hermes stands in for the open-source local agents (including OpenClaw) — genuinely powerful, but built for developers who live in the terminal. Dot, Muse and Cue are the 2026 cloud agents: they can't touch your computer, your apps, or your logged-in sessions.

The difference you'll feel

Not another chatbot. Your AI that actually knows you.

Other AI assistants meet you for the first time — every time. New chat, new topic: they ask your name again, forget yesterday's project, and feel like a helpful stranger.

🧠

It remembers everything that matters

Month 6 is as informed as day 1.

Never loses context — conversations compress intelligently, never erased. Ask about a decision from 3 months ago; YOY remembers, cites it, and moves on
Remembers you, personally — your projects, your preferences, your people. Not a "memory folder" you manage — knowledge that simply accumulates
92.73% recall accuracy on the LoCoMo long-memory benchmark — measured, not marketed

❤️

It knows how you're doing

The first AI agent with genuine emotional intelligence.

Understands your mood in any language — joy, stress, urgency, fatigue — and responds like a colleague who knows you, not a call-center script
Relationship that grows naturally: from first meeting to trusted partner, at your pace
Warm but honest — it celebrates wins with you and tells you the truth when you need it

📈

It gets better every week

YOY learns from every task outcome.

Learns your way of working — your formats, your tools, your standards — and applies them next time automatically
90+ built-in tools: writes documents, builds charts, edits images, generates video & music, controls your apps — no installs, no plugins to wire up
Your whole archive, searchable — drop in years of contracts, photos, PDFs; ask a question, get the answer with the source

🤝

It's genuinely on your side

Not a polite stranger — a partner that has your back.

Honest, even when it's hard — tells you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear
Catches mistakes before they cost you — flags risks, dead ends and bad calls while there is still time to change course
Sees the job through — does not stop at a half-answer; finishes the boring parts and closes the loop

That's the difference: cloud agents do tasks. YOY builds a working relationship — on your machine, in your language, with your data staying yours.

FAQ

Your questions, answered

How does YOY's ownership model work?

YOY means You Own Your AI. The app is free. Your memory, knowledge base and API keys live on your machine — you pick the AI provider, you hold the key, you pay only for what you use at wholesale API rates. No subscription, no lock-in.

Do I need an API key?

Yes — one key from any provider you like (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Z.AI, DeepSeek, OpenRouter… 35 providers supported). Paste it into Settings → API Keys and you're running in under a minute. Save as many keys as you like — YOY cascades to your next key automatically if one fails. Keys stay encrypted on your machine.

What does it cost to run?

The app is free. You pay your AI provider directly at wholesale API rates — typically a few dollars a month for everyday use, far less than a $20/mo subscription. Heavy users pay more, light users pay pennies. You set the pace, and YOY never adds markup.

Where is my data stored?

Locally, on your machine. Conversations, memory, knowledge base, and API keys (encrypted via macOS Keychain / Windows DPAPI) never leave your computer unless you explicitly connect a channel like Telegram. That's the local-first design.

Can it really control my computer? Is that safe?

Yes — with you in charge the whole time. Desktop control is off until you enable it. Safe Mode asks before anything sensitive runs. You can grant or revoke computer access at any time in one click. Every action is written to a local audit log you can inspect. Nothing happens without your permission.

Does it open any ports on my computer?

No. YOY runs locally and never opens inbound ports to the internet — no doors for attackers. (Cloud-tethered agents like OpenClaw require exposed external endpoints; YOY does not.) Messaging channels such as Telegram connect via outbound polling only, so your machine stays unreachable from outside.

Can YOY manage my email for me?

Yes. Connect Gmail, Outlook, iCloud, Yahoo or any IMAP mailbox — YOY detects the right servers for you automatically. It reads and sorts your inbox (urgent, needs-action, newsletters), summarises what matters, pulls out the to-dos, and drafts replies in your own writing voice, learned from your sent mail. By default it never sends without your approval; once you trust it, you can allow auto-send for trusted contacts only, with a cancel window. Every send is logged.

Can YOY use my existing documents?

Yes — point the Knowledge Base at any folder of existing files. PDFs, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, email archives and more are indexed locally and become searchable, so YOY works with your knowledge from day one instead of learning you from zero.

What can it actually do on my computer?

With your permission, effectively your whole PC: organise and clean up files, move data between apps, fill forms in Chrome, edit Excel, build decks, export from Figma, take and understand screenshots, generate documents with embedded charts, edit images, create video and music, and run scheduled autonomous tasks. Permissions are layered — YOY asks first for sensitive actions, you can grant or revoke each capability at any time from YOY or your OS, and it can go as far as full PC control if you choose to allow it.

What if I switch models or cancel?

Your memory and data stay on your machine regardless of provider. Switch models or providers any time — YOY keeps remembering you and your work.

Which platforms are supported?

Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows, each with a dedicated installer.

How good is the memory, really?

92.73% long-term memory accuracy on the LoCoMo benchmark. YOY remembers your context across sessions — long-term knowledge, daily context, semantic recall and learned lessons work together, with no mid-conversation compaction and no "who are you again?".

Can I talk to it by voice?

Yes — natural voices are built in. Speak to YOY and it answers back, across 60+ languages. No extra apps or setup needed.

People across the world, each with their own AI, living together peacefully

🌍 One world. Every AI owned.

The YOY Manifesto
