I pay for Kagi, I'm only vaguely aware that they have AI features and I have no interest in using them. What I like is that it doesn't annoy me about that stuff or anything, it just lets me use it (kagi search) as I want. Completely different from aggressive big tech "you're the product" companies that use modal "got it?" popups to try and push features you don't want. I hope that doesn't change for Kagi more than anything else.
Also, I rarely use search to answer questions and anyway would never just trust an answer. I even read SO before pasting in the code and decide if it fits with what I'm doing and what modifications the answer may need, I guess I'm old. But more importantly, I use "search" mostly to get to pages I know exist or expect to exist. And getting to the right page faster is what I care about, not any answer.
- frizlab 3y agoI pay for Kagi and was similarly only vaguely aware that they have AI features and I had no interest in using them. I started adding a question mark to my query out of curiosity and their instant answers are really good. Also they have links to their references, which I often check to verify the answer.
- littlecranky67 3y agoYou should try Kagi's FastGPT [0]. You need not trust the answer, as it gives the URL sources for each paragraph to verify yourself. [0]: kagi.com/fastgpt
- ethbr1 3y agoTo me, this is the key UX component that Kagi does correctly -- traceability to the underlying source result (which is usually also quite good with its linkbait penalizing). I've found Kagi to be a great start for "I want to know a current fact in an area I don't follow actively."
