I remember at the time they were working on it a lot of people (honestly, including me) were pretty critical of them "wasting" their limited resources on AI stuff. We saw it as being sort of similar to the t-shirt drama [1].
I'm here to admit I was wrong, it's incredibly useful. It misses the mark frequently, like any LLM, but it's well annotated with footnotes that link to the original material.
I use it all the time.
I also love how easy it is to use or not - just add a question mark to the end of your query to use the AI, or leave it off for traditional search.
With that UX it doesn't feel like it's being shoved down my throat.

- monk_grilla 1mo agoDo you even know what it is? Kagi Assistant is just one part of their offerings. They are a search engine first and foremost. And as you can see many people in this thread are singing the praises of all parts of the Kagi offering. Creating an account just to hate on a company trying to shake up a monolithic and user-predatory product space is just sad.
