Agreed. I also don’t like how they are jumping on the AI bandwagon and splitting their efforts between search, a pointless new browser, and AI. It’s like Google all over again.

I’m happy to give them $10 or $25 per month for excellent search and privacy. But I’m really not interested in funding their other junk.

An important tidbit from their Discord. The AI is just the commercial one from OpenAI. Paying $5 per 50 search summaries for it according to the founder of Kagi.[1] It is not in-house.

Sorry for the value statement

But good lord, that's such a dumb, dumb, dumb decision to integrate this thing onto Kagi then

I'll keep my subscription on the 10usd one, but yeah this drops my interest on the company precipitously and rather than just recommend it, I will just not, or do it with a warning that the roi of subscribing is only so-so

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I thought that their summarizer tool was amazing. I was using it multiple times a day to get summaries of long articles and pdfs.
