I love and pay for Kagi, but I am afraid paid search providers are in for a tough time. I am using search less and less, and directing more of my search (~90%) to Grok instead of Kagi now. The exception being price comparisons when online shopping. I want the exact information I'm after, in the way that I want it, immediately. Search cannot do this, unless they amalgamate into AI tools more and more, at which point they are in a different space altogether. Looks like an Uber eating Taxi's business situation again to me.

You are aware that if you're paying for kagi you can just slap !ai at the end of any search query and it'll direct the query to kagi.com/assistant, right? And that you can set the model to answer those query as any of the grok models? Kagi isn't behind anyone else on this AI-powered search, in fact the assistant is nearly a strict superset of all the other ones. You can set the model to chatGPT, claude, gemini, grok, etc. And it'll use kagi search as a backend instead of, respectively, bing, brave, google, google+twitter.

  Didn't know this thanks! Looks like only Grok 3 mini is supported on my standard plan currently, and I'll have limited tokens to use on Grok 4 (that I'm already paying for) on the Premium plan. I'll stick to my current setup for now but appreciate the input.

    Fair enough. I encourage you to cycle through the models in the assistant once in a while to see if there's new ones to like. Kimi-k2 for instance was a positive surprise recently and is being added to your standard plan tonight as well as the brand new GPT-OSS models.

  If you find it disgusting - that's your choice. You should also respect those who do not share it and yep - do pay money to Musk companies. Would be great to keep this place off political manifestations of any kind.
