每个新的 AI 模型都为用户提供了更换使用平台的理由。对于那些已经在某个平台上积累了数月甚至数年对话记录、个人偏好、文件以及各种使用数据的人来说，切换到更优秀的 AI 模型往往意味着需要重新开始一切。
Every new AI model creates another reason to switch. For users who have already built up months or years of conversations, preferences, files and personal context inside one platform, moving to a better model can also mean starting again.
Use.ai 的设计理念是：用户应该能够在不同的 AI 模型之间自由切换，而无需更改界面或丢失已有的使用数据。该平台自上线以来还不到一年，就已经吸引了 100 万月活跃用户。它为用户提供了超过 10 种领先的 AI 模型，用户可以在同一对话过程中使用这些模型（包括 GPT、Claude、Gemini、Grok 和 DeepSeek 等）。
Use.ai was built around the idea that people should be able to switch between the intelligence they use without changing the interface or losing their context. Less than a year after launch, the all-in-one AI workspace has reached one million monthly active users. It gives consumers access to more than 10 leading AI models, all within a single conversation. They include GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok and DeepSeek.
Use.ai 的诞生源于联合创始人伊霍尔·赫拉西莫夫（Ihor Herasymov）自己在不同 AI 平台之间切换时所遇到的不便。作为一名曾从事并购和科技投资银行业务的人，赫拉西莫夫后来创立了多家公司，并在两年内将其中一家公司发展成了拥有 100 多名员工、年收入达 300 万美元的科技企业。随着 ChatGPT 的推出，AI 成为了他进行研究、分析和决策的重要工具。他开始频繁测试各种 AI 模型，很快发现：每次更换模型都会导致自己之前积累的使用数据被丢失。
The origin Use.ai grew out of Co-Founder Ihor Herasymov’s own frustration with jumping between AI platforms. A former M&A and tech investment banker, Herasymov went on to launch seven businesses. He then built a tech company to 100+ employees and $3 million in annual revenue within two years. After ChatGPT was released, AI quickly became central to how he researched, analyzed and made decisions. He began testing models obsessively and quickly found that each built up context he didn’t want to lose.
“我每月要花费约 1000 美元购买高级订阅服务，因为这些账户中保存着我多年的使用记录——我的偏好、工作成果以及个人生活数据。我绝不想因为出现更好的 AI 模型就失去这些数据，”Use.ai 的联合创始人伊霍尔·赫拉西莫夫说道。“Use.ai 的目标就是实现这一点：一个统一的账户，即可使用所有领先的 AI 模型，并且用户之前积累的所有使用数据都能被保留下来。”
“I pay around $1,000 a month for premium subscriptions because those accounts hold years of my history. My preferences, my work, my life. I don’t want to lose that context whenever a better model appears,” said Ihor Herasymov, Co-Founder of Use.ai. “That’s where Use.AI began: one account, leading AI models, and context that stays with you.”
Use.ai 的核心功能是将分散的 AI 服务整合成一个统一的工作空间。用户无需管理多个订阅服务，只需在一个工作空间内即可使用所有 AI 模型，并且可以在对话过程中随时切换不同的模型。无论是进行研究、写作、制定计划还是进行创作，所有操作都可以在一个连续的流程中完成。随着任务的发展，用户还可以根据需要随时调用不同的 AI 模型来辅助工作。
The core offering Use.ai turns a fragmented AI landscape into one workspace. Instead of juggling separate subscriptions, users can access all of them in a single consumer workspace. They can switch between them mid-conversation. Research, writing, planning and creation all happen in the same thread. Users can pull in different models as the task evolves.
Use.ai 产品的核心是其免费的 Answer Engine。该引擎基于由公司配置和优化的开放权重模型打造。当任务需要更深入的推理或更高级的能力时，用户可通过付费订阅使用更先进的前沿模型。
At the heart of Use.ai’s offering is its free Answer Engine. It is built on open-weights models that the company configures and optimizes. More advanced frontier models are available under a paid subscription when a task calls for deeper reasoning or more advanced capabilities.
Use.ai 的更大目标是彻底消除选择模型这一环节。公司正在开发自动编排系统，将每项任务分配给最合适的智能模型。它还在开发相关工具，使平台能够随着时间推移更深入地了解用户的情况。用户无需追踪模型发布、研究基准测试，或判断哪种 AI 适合哪类任务；Use.ai 希望他们只专注于一件事：自己想完成什么。
The bigger ambition is to make choosing a model disappear entirely. Use.ai is building automatic orchestration that can route each task to the most suitable intelligence. It is also building tools that allow the platform to understand more of a user’s world over time. Instead of asking people to follow model launches, study benchmarks or decide which AI belongs to which task, Use.ai wants them to focus on one thing: what they want to get done.
“我们面向消费者开发，而不是开发者，”Herasymov 表示。“我们的用户不该需要追踪模型发布、比较基准测试，或为每项任务决定哪种模型最好。这是我们的工作。”为什么模型选择很重要？随着人们越来越频繁地使用 AI，困在各个平台内、难以带走的上下文会变得愈发宝贵，也越来越难以割舍。Use.ai 的研究表明，用户已经希望在 different 模型之间自由切换。
“We build for consumers, not developers”, said Herasymov. “Our users shouldn’t need to follow model releases, compare benchmarks or decide which model is best for every task. That’s our job.”Why model choice matters As people use AI more, the context trapped inside each platform becomes more valuable and harder to leave behind. Use.ai’s research suggests users already want the freedom to move between models.
在一项针对 5,000 多名用户的调查中，42% 的用户表示，为了获得更好的质量或更深入的推理，他们会更换模型。另有 36.5% 的用户会根据任务类型切换模型。一名用户甚至用四个模型回答了同一个投资问题，通过比较各模型答案的一致与分歧，判断哪些内容需要进一步研究。
In a survey of more than 5,000 users, 42% said they switch for better quality or deeper reasoning. Another 36.5% switch depending on the task. One user even compared the same investment question across four models. They used where the models agreed and disagreed to decide what needed more research.
Use.ai 押注称，最大的机遇仍在前方。在另一项针对 3 万多名用户的调查中，54% 的用户表示，他们要么是第一次使用 AI，要么只尝试过几次。公司估计，未来十年内，还可能有约 40 亿人成为 AI 的常用用户。其目标，是成为这些用户从第一天起就用来积累 AI 上下文的平台。
Use.ai is betting that the biggest opportunity is still ahead. In a separate survey of more than 30,000 users, 54% said they were either using AI for the first time or had only tried it a few times. The company estimates that roughly four billion more people could become regular AI users over the next decade. Its aim is to become the place where those users build their AI context from day one.
展望未来，Use.ai 的下一阶段是从提供答案转向采取行动。其目标是打造一款能够了解用户偏好、日常习惯、日程安排和具体情境的个人助手。随后，它会协调各种模型和已连接的应用，把事情办妥。
Looking ahead Use.ai’s next phase is about moving from answers to action. The goal is a personal assistant that understands a user’s preferences, routines, schedule and context. It then coordinates models and connected apps to get things done.
场景可能简单到用户只需说一句：“帮我订下周理发。”在获得用户日历访问权限后，助手可以知道其常去的美发店，并根据用户的日程查看可预约时段。随后，它可以直接完成预约、添加到日历，并设置提醒。
That could be as simple as saying, “Book me a haircut next week.”With permission to access the user’s calendar, the assistant could know their usual salon and check available appointments against their schedule. It could then make the booking, add it to the calendar and set a reminder.
同样的方法也可以用于购物。想买新跑鞋的用户可以让 Use.ai 根据其偏好和训练习惯研究合适的型号。随后，它会比较各零售平台的价格和库存情况，并在用户确认后完成购买。
The same approach could apply to shopping. A user looking for new running shoes could ask Use.ai to research suitable models based on their preferences and training habits. It could then compare prices and availability across retailers and, eventually, complete the purchase once the user confirms.
随着时间推移，这意味着用户只需提出目标，Use.ai 就能在得到确认后，负责查找并预约服务、研究产品、比较价格和库存，以及完成购买。其核心理念是：用户只需描述自己的目标，Use.ai 便会承担更多为实现目标所需的研究、协调和模型选择工作。
Over time, that could mean finding and booking appointments, researching products, comparing prices and availability, and completing purchases with confirmation. The underlying idea is that users should be able to describe an objective while Use.ai handles more of the research, coordination and model selection required to complete it.
赫拉西莫夫表示：“我们的目标是尽量减少用户从‘我需要把某件事做完’到‘事情已经办妥’之间所付出的精力。我们希望 Use.AI 成为你与 AI 关系的起点和长期归属，无论接下来是哪款模型胜出。”关于 Use.ai Use.ai 是一款面向消费者的 AI 工作空间，将领先的 AI 模型汇聚在一个界面中，并能在多次对话之间保留上下文。它将免费的问答引擎与付费使用前沿模型的服务相结合，并正在打造智能体 AI 助手，帮助用户完成日常个人事务。
“Our goal is to minimize the effort between ‘I need something done’ and ‘it’s done,’” said Herasymov. “We want Use.AI to be where your AI relationship begins and where it stays, regardless of which model wins next.”About Use.ai Use.ai is a consumer AI workspace that brings leading AI models into one interface, with persistent context across conversations. It combines a free Answer Engine with paid access to frontier models and is building personal agentic AI assistants for getting personal tasks done on a regular basis.
