I’m guessing because it’s valuable to have a trustworthy AI assistant that you can just explain what you want and it finds the best options

Keyword trustworthy, I think Kagi is one of the only companies that would be in a position to do this without pushback.

But, regular models and harnesses work okay for this too. You just have to specify “web search”, very important.

Care to share your setup?

I use pi and librechat and I am really limited by the lack of proper web connector. Testing Tavily right now, Kagi is next.

I wonder why I see so few comments about it on HN, does everybody have this figured out already? Am I a dummy? Am I severely overstating how important of a frature web access and search is for LLM use?

I use Claude code for basically everything, since the harness is pretty complete. The online chat interface works fine too. For basic research I downgrade the model and effort. Smarter models are good at knowing when to web search rather than guess, but you should always specify “do a web search”.

The one caveat is opus has an absolutely awful voice. The way it writes is annoying and verbose. Sonnet actually works better for this type of thing.

That's already possible, so I thought they were asking for more.
