A year ago it looked like Microsoft had an insurmountable lead thanks to their investment in OpenAI. Microsoft has wasted their lead. Copilot is definitely not worth $30 per month, not when there are free offerings that work better. ChatGPT should have given Bing a big boost but Microsoft didn't execute well. You know who has executed well? Perplexity.ai. Perplexity shows what a modern AI-enabled search engine can do.

$30 for copilot doesn’t make sense when Cursor Pro is $20.

  where are you paying $30 for copilot? i see $20 on the website for the copilot chatbot, and i'm currently paying $10/mo for the vscode addon.

    They raised the price of Office to make you pay for copilot.

      That's a different copilot

      If you cancel they offer the old plan/price.

  Classic Microsoft branding confusion. Microsoft Copilot isn’t Github Copilot.

I like to plug Kagi whenever I get a chance Your subscription includes not just the stellar search engine, but access to their assistant as well, along with all their privacy benefits What I love about assistant specifically is that it lets you switch between one of 10+ models. If you are curious for example how a different model would answer a prompt, within the same thread you can change the model and re-ask your question Gemini, deepseek, Claude, mixtral, ChatGPT, etc Definitely worth checking out - has definitely help me take advantage of these bots more

  Do they have privacy policy around their AI assistant?
  - gxs 2y ago
    Yes, they make the API calls anonymously They don’t tie anything history back to your account, you can pay it with bitcoin even It’s worth checking out their privacy policy - in a nutshell they do zero advertising and zero affiliate type stuff so they just don’t need to

  I recently migrated to Orion in order to continue using Ublock Origin, and became a Kagi subscriber as well. Very pleased with the results so far, and I have yet to try the assistant but I'll give that a go today.

It’s really weird. On the one hand they are pushing hard down their customer’s throats and yet on the other they haven’t really produced something of killer value.
