We open-sourced ask, a lightweight (~200 lines) shell script for interacting with LLMs through OpenRouterAPI (in the future Kagi Assistant API). Check it out here: github.com/kagisearch/ask

I've just tried translating a couple of sentences from Polish to English using Kagi's translate feature, and it turned out to be better than DeepL! Another reason to use kagi.com. lifehacker.com/kagi-paid-se...

I've swapped back to Kagi (kagi.com) for search again - the ability to block domains from your results is so useful I'm not sure I can live without it any more. And Google etc are the most useless they've ever been, pushing whatever makes them money rather than actually finding good results. #tech

Kagi offers various widgets to enrich your search results. Configure and toggle widgets in your settings to customize search results to your preferences.

I’ve become a big fan of Kagi. The only way not to become the product is to become the customer.

whenever i watch someone else search, i cringe at how their eyes reflexively dodge the ad result, breeze past the unhelpful ai response, ignore a site they hate, and get past the popular-but-not-what-they-wanted result... just to arrive at the first result they would've received from @kagi.com

very true. getting over the hump of paying for quality products is a great place to be. I'm honestly happy every time I make a search on kagi, it feels healthy in addition to being very high quality

Threat actors are exploiting adtech companies to distribute malware and run malicious campaigns. This is one of the many reasons why all Kagi products are built without ads or trackers. cybersecuritynews.com/threat-actor...

A thoughtful review of Kagi and the reasons people stick with it long-term: havn.blog/2024/05/31/m...

kagi.com/smallweb/ This is so refreshing and was super nice to stumble on to.

As others have said, @kagi.com is by far the best search engine. You get what you pay for and it’s truly amazing. Not only are the regular search results great, but it allows you to dip into AI when you need it. It’s not just forced on you.

Kagi Translate lets you fine-tune translation settings, giving you more accurate and context-aware results:

The last straw for me using Google was when the "AI overview" slop engine suggested I add "3/4 inch nuts, hand tighten" to a pie I was making. Now I exclusively use @kagi.com and will never go back. Having a good, clean search experience and the ability to customize how YOU use it is game changing

Kagi Lenses allow you to customize your searches by choosing which websites (and other parameters) you see in your results for any specific queries. It's one of the most beloved features of Kagi Search.

Beyond just being an inconvenience and visibly degrading the quality and reliability of search results, ads also pose serious security risks. That's why Kagi is and will always be free of ads.

Kagi is well better than Google ever was, including back when they became dominant by being better than everything else. It just works. And you can block, down-rank, up-rank, and pin sources. And a hundred other reasons. I’ve yet to meet anyone who has tried Kagi and uses anything else.

The two most upvoted Lenses on OpenKagi right now. 🔥 🔗 Reddit Lens by u/jackson Because let’s be honest… we’ve all typed “{search query} reddit” → okgi.link/reddit 📺 Lost Media Lens by @seth.bsky.social Perfect for finding lost shows, web oddities, and digital folklore → okgi.link/lost-media

True story, we have a colleague from Switzerland who flew to Japan with these and passed them around at a community meetup 🍫

Kagi gets this right, both with and without Quick Answer:

i love kagi -- totally made search usable again. the ability to block domains owns, too. just great stuff.

Kagi is proud to make our services available through @torproject.bsky.social, adding an extra layer of privacy and anonymity for our users. You can access Kagi via the following Onion link: kagi2pv5bdcxxqla5itjzje2cgdccuwept5ub6patvmvn3qgmgjd6vid.onion

I got a paid plan from #kagi @kagi.com because I got fed up of advertisers paying for my search results. Now that I pay for them they’re actually useful to me! Fund your own search engine kids, it’s not expensive and you’ll save your own time

Even better, switch to Kagi. You’ll get better search results out of the box and if you want you can simply up/down vote sites to curate your results further. Much easier than trying to fight Google’s algorithm of the month.

I submitted my @kagi.com lens to @openkagi.com kagi.com/lenses/e832i... openkagi.com/lenses/atproto #ATProto #PrivateSearch #Kagi

Today, we are launching Friends - An initiative to support other privacy focussing products. Starting with @kagi.com. Details here - ente.io/blog/launchi...

@kagi.com I am LOVING this Study assistant. It’s genuinely helping me learn and understand my calculus homework; instead of just telling me the answer and steps, it’s working through it with me.

Introducing Kagi Specials! We're spotlighting privacy-first companies that share our values: no surveillance, no ads, no data selling, and providing special offers on these services for Kagi members. Learn more about our latest inititaive here: blog.kagi.com/kagi-specials

Used Kagi Translate in anger for the first time today to translate a survey from English to Welsh. Blown away by the accuracy, contextual awareness, and overall experience. Just delightful. Hands down the best automated translation service I’ve used. @kagi.com

Kagi News looks good! First they define the problem: "Driven by relentless ad monetization, news has become mental junk food - an endless stream of clickbait that destroys our ability to think deeply and clearly."

Did you create a custom Kagi theme? Submit it here for other Kagi users to easily discover and enjoy:

We built technology that provides proportional content attribution in AI answers. This helps you understand the importance of each source in forming the final answer. More importantly, this technology paves the way for Kagi to share profits with publishers participating in our AI answers.

That would be a compelling reason to use @kagi.com's AI Assistant.

hey, that's Kagi founder!!! go give him a follow. follow @kagi.com too

🎉 Today’s the day—OpenKagi is live! → openkagi.com A community-powered hub for discovering, sharing, and building with Kagi Lenses + Themes. Come explore and contribute as we grow the community together. ✨

Search that works for you. Zero ads. Zero tracking. Just the results you're looking for.

Honored to be the "not-annoying" search engine 🥰

A must watch by @glitch.mov, shows when we choose better search engines like Kagi, we get better search results that actually surface smaller sites and content by independent creators. "Build smaller sites > use better search engines > smaller sites show up in search" youtu.be/6xlyggbD_lE?...

Kagi Translate powering in-line translation on Bluesky? Dreamy 😻

Possibly our new tagline?

What does your Privacy Pack look like? Nice initiative by Ente to encourage you to replace mainstream apps in favor of privacy-first products, like Kagi & Orion: privacypack.org
