You.one

The only system that actually helps.
For people, not profit.
Finally — AI built for the 99%, not the 1%.

This is what AI should’ve been.

No logins.
No prompts.
No ads.
No tricks.
Just: How can I help?
And then — actual help.

One clear step at a time.
No overwhelm. No confusion. No judgment.
Just a system that respects you.
And actually gives a fuck.

Built from scratch.
By a human.
For humans.
The first prototype in 3 days.
Now evolving daily — with care, urgency, and zero bullshit.

This isn’t just about better tech.
It’s about building the new floor.
A system that helps people — and a movement to upgrade capitalism before it breaks us all.

What is You.one?

You.one is the new homepage of the internet.
Not a product. Not a chatbot. Not a feed.

It’s a lifeline. A guide. A human-aligned system.

An interface that meets you where you are.
Stays with you. Helps you move forward.
With care, not conquest.

Whether you’re:

A single mom in Toledo trying to stretch $82 across dinner, diapers, and gas
A student in Tucson who just got ghosted
A nurse in Phoenix wondering if it’s time to leave
A dad in Calgary staring down a medical bill
A kid in Detroit trying to write something real
Or a new parent in Chicago Googling “how to help my kid with fractions without losing it”

You.one meets you there.

Why this exists

Because no one else built it.

$15 trillion in American technology.
Decades of innovation.
And still — not a single clear, caring interface for regular people.

Big Tech had the tools.
And pointed them at:

Infinite scroll
Addiction loops
Subscription bundles
Replacing labor
Tracking your attention
Scaling CEO bonuses

Not one of them built something useful for the people who actually make this country run.

That’s not a gap.
That’s a betrayal.

So I built the correction.
And it already helps more people — in more direct, human ways — than anything coming out of Silicon Valley.

That’s the indictment.
And the proof.

If you believe AI should serve people — not exploit them — sign the petition to take it back.

Who built this

I’m Joshua Segeren.

In 2017, I started the first AI product team in Microsoft 365.
Back when “AI” was still behind the scenes — built on early machine learning and neural nets, mostly powering backend systems.

I helped change that.
Bridged Microsoft Research and product.
And led the work to ship the first real, human-facing AI features across Teams, Word, PowerPoint, and Outlook —
including Live Captions, Real-time Transcription, Translation, and AI Writing Tools — now used by tens of millions every day.

But even the most obvious ideas — like making captions free for accessibility — were uphill battles.
Yes, there was an accessibility org. But it mostly existed for PR — to win government contracts.
Inside, the pressure was always:
Make it premium. Monetize the shiny.

At some point, it became impossible to do the right thing.

I also saw a chance to build entirely new ways of interacting with computers —
using AI to enable motion-based control.
Not just for accessibility, but for real-world use:
hands-free navigation, distance control, no remotes, no touchscreens, less friction.
A better interface. Period.

Microsoft wouldn’t sponsor it.

So I left.

And started building what should’ve existed all along.

First, Fluid — AI motion control, no hardware required.
Now, You.one — the first system that actually helps regular people with real life, using AGI.

Dedicated to Nima

To my best friend and first co-founder.
He passed in 2023.
But he never stopped believing that we could use this technology to actually help people.
He was right.
He was always right.
And he was true.

This is for him.
This is for you.
This is for all of us.

The new standard

You.one isn’t perfect.
But it’s honest.
And it’s trying — really trying — to be for you.

Not for the 1%.
Not for engineers, VCs, or power users.
For the people Big Tech forgot.

Built from scratch.
With no outside investors.
No board.
No acquisition plan.
Not for sale. Ever.

We don’t run ads.
We don’t track you.
We don’t sell or share your data.
We just help — or we don’t exist.

It runs on tips.
If it helps you, and you can — contribute.
That’s how we keep improving.
That’s how we stay free.
That’s how we stay yours.

Final word

They chose dystopia.
They pointed godlike tools at profit, addiction, and infinite growth.
And scaled it — with no brakes.

But we still get to choose.

We can build systems that heal instead of harm.
That empower instead of extract.
That serve instead of manipulate.

That’s what You.one is.
Not a product.
Not a platform.
Not a dashboard.
Not a chatbot.

Just — Home.

Built from scratch.
By a human.
For humans.
As it always should’ve been.

Welcome home.
Let’s move forward — together.
