Kagi is announcing a AI Assistant.
Kagi is announcing a AI Assistant.
Yes, the rumours are true! Kagi ( https://kagi.com ) has been thoughtfully integrating AI into our search experience, creating a smarter, faster, and more intuitive search.
i’m pretty sure my neighbour’s dog is going to announce a new ai assistant any day now
it's still ironing out some bugs, but you can try it out after enabling it in the "lab" section
The neighborhood stray has one called "Catscan"
As a surprise to absolutely nobody, the search company highly involved with LLMs makes a third (forth?) LLM assisted tool
It's probably not written in Forth
This is the way to do it.
all of these features are on-demand
none of the things you don’t [need] (such as user data harvesting, ads & tracking).
Choice of leading LLM models from all the leading providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, …)
All threads are private by default, retained only as long as you want and subscriber data is not used for training models
Noooooooo

Dear Kagi,
Stop it. Or, if you must, make sure you leave me in my original plan and don't make me pay for this obnoxious shit. I know what I'm paying for, and I like it.
Fuck it up at your own peril.
Sincerly, A Paying Customer.
I'm out until one of these can assist with my crank
Alright everyone time to head back to good old SearX. Fun time is over
Been using their AI features for months, been using this beta for a week. It's the main way I use search now, since it feeds the search results to the LLM context and gives cites it really speeds up the process of picking the best source or especially combining searches. It also uses your custom rankings and lenses, so there's that too. Handy for programming tasks.
I don't get kagi, their search engine that takes results from google, but more anonymized and that's very costly apparently. However they keep adding AI features, which I would expect to be way more expensive to run.
In the first couple of years (2018 - 2019) Kagi was focused on AI technology, driven by the notion that any future search engine will need to have a strong instant question-answering component.
They literally started as an AI company, and I'd bet money the CEO is a huge fan of it. Did search even cross the profitability threshold yet?
