What's the difference between using Kagi and Perplexity? On X everyone talks about Perplexity, on HN, about Kagi. Do they both search -> put results in an LLM as input text?

No. Kagi does have optional LLM-based answers, but at the core they present as a search engine and not a chatbot like Perplexity.
- hyperknot 2y agoProbably. Still, I find Perplexity extremely useful for giving me a one sentence answer based on reading 10 reddit threads.
- bogwog 2y agoKagi is a regular search engine, like Google. They started to bundle some optional AI features with the subscription, but I personally never use them. Perplexity is yet another AI startup trying to find a way to monetize LLMs. Will they survive when the bubble pops? Idk. Do I trust them with my data? Fuck no. Just look at all the advertising they're investing in and ask yourself how they plan to make that money back.
