I’ve been very happy with Kagi, though I did eventually downgrade from the Ultimate to the regular plan as ChatGPT Plus added more usability features (memory, preprompts, voice conversations, etc). I’ll have to check the article to see if there are hints, but it’d be nice to have more reason for the big price jump going forward than goodwill and the advanced models.

But regular Kagi is one of those “take it out of my cold dead hands” sort of techs. Now that the iOS extension mostly works for bang redirects and such, it’s been a great experience on all platforms.

I have an iOS shortcut built around the Summarizer that has been invaluable for my TL;DR moments on sprawling articles. If I get bored I share to that shortcut and instantly get back bullet points in a popup window. Brilliant.

I’m happy to hear Kagi is successful and will likely be around for awhile. Going back to straight Google or DDG would be rough.

For anyone who wants a less complicated solution, I use this bookmarklet on iOS, Firefox, etc.

Like the parent commenter, I use Kagi’s summarizer all the time: it has become an integral part of my online filtering process.

Kagi has LLM chat too: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/assistant.html

They do, though my experience was it wasn’t really a comparable experience to app-accessed ChatGPT. Of course, you do have many more models to choose from, but I’m pretty sure I’m inclined to just align on one.

I will admit I never saw the custom instructions option though, which would have covered pre-prompting.
