>Today it's AI overviews you can't switch off.

i might be a minority but ai overviews are genuinely very cool. they are promoting the "you can turn them off" as a feature, but what is actually lacking is the ability to "turn them on by default". in like 90% of my queries i DO want an ai overview. but in kagi it's tucked away behind a button, you can very easily burn through your allowance, and the models they have are.. subpar to say the least.

and as a long-time (2+ years) kagi user i find myself using google more and more just for the ai overview/ai mode, bc its just genuinely faster.

in my experience, the majority of "ai overview/mode sucks" crowd never actually tried to use it in the past months. its genuinely gotten really good. it's still an llm, of course, so it does have its quirks, but its a very useful tool to have, and its sad kagi aren't very good at doing it.

You can manually trigger the quick answer by ending your query with a question mark.

ending every single one of them with a question mark gets pretty annoying pretty fast
