Hacker News new | ask | show | jobs

No markdown blocks for code makes assistants really tough to use. It also seems to end up recommending that you search the exact same thing you ask it. For example, if I ask "name 5 websites similar to hackernews", it'll end up spitting out a link to a kagi search with "websites similar to hackernews".

I might end up disabling web search until they've tweaked it a little more. I really like kagi search so I feel pretty confident that they'll get it, but I don't think it's ready to replace the brand-name chatbots.

Hi Yunwal, I work at Kagi.

> No markdown blocks for code makes assistants really tough to use.

Could you clarify if you are referring to the markdown from your prompt not rendering? Or the response from the model not rendering markdown for code blocks?

The former was an intentional choice for now to simplify release; it is on our roadmap. The latter would be a bug - in which case, you can email the thread URL to zac@kagi.com and I'd be happy to take a closer look.
