And this is why I subscribe to Kagi. They also have AI based summary, but you have to invoke it manually on a specific search result (in which case you know where the info is coming from).

I feel like we're on a race to the bottom. All of Silicon Valley and beyond have big FOMO on the AI hype train and any and all use of AI pleases investors. I guess we'll see how it all pans out in a few years.

One thing is for sure, generative AI and LLMs open up a whole can of worms in terms of disinformation and information noise on the Internet. The signal to noise ratio will greatly shift with these new initiatives.



Kagi is just too expensive for non US folks. The family plan costs more than my family's monthly wifi, netflix, and phone bills combined.


It also stings that I can't pay by PayPal, so not only would I have to pay the currency exchange margin to US Dollars but my bank also changes an out-of-currency fee.

I understand that they're probably focusing on US market growth first, but the UK and EU surely have potential too.


Oh! That's at least one reason why people say they need to pay with PayPal. I've see people saying they won't buy things until PayPal was supported, but I couldn't figure it out for the longest time how anyone would be in a situation where paying with PayPal would be essential. Thanks for explaining that.


I can empathize with this. If not for my decent salary by European standards, I’m not sure I would prioritize paying for search when there are free options available.

It would be nice if more services used purchasing parity based pricing so more people could benefit.
