Today, TIME revealed its annual list of the Best Inventions, featuring 300 extraordinary innovations

We're thrilled to announce that ARI, You.com’s professional-grade deep research agent, has been recognized as one of TIME's Best Inventions of 2025 in the productivity category.

Launched in beta this February, ARI—which stands for "Advanced Research & Insights"—is the world's first deep research engine capable of processing more than 500 sources and delivering polished, professional-grade PDF reports in minutes.

In head-to-head testing, ARI demonstrated a 76% win rate against competing research platforms and achieved 80% accuracy on the FRAMES benchmark—the highest known performance for any AI model in this evaluation.

TIME recognized ARI for democratizing professional-grade research capabilities that were previously accessible only to enterprises with dedicated analyst teams.
