Any word on Windows? Despite the discourse around Kagi using Yandex, they did advise me that they are still building thier own indexes that are planned to eventually replace thirds party ones.

I'm still not a huge fan of the overuse of AI, but I do think Kagi is on the right track in a lot of other areas.

edit: I'm in the Linux community.... Ignore the first sentence ๐Ÿ˜…

What "overuse of AI" are you referring to?

[โ€“] Zero@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Maybe "overuse" isn't the right word. "Over-investment" maybe.

I think the Universal Summarizer and Quick Answer are okay but the Assistant just doesn't do it for me. No one is forcing me to use it or pay for it however and I don't run the company, so it's a moot point...

They've reiterated that AI is central to their mission, I just don't find the LLM interfacing very compelling personally.

It's optional to use though. Just a feature that is up to you to use or not

[โ€“] Zero@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 day ago

Yes, I know..I'm not saying I need to use it or that it's forced on Kagi users. I'm saying that I personally don't agree with the amount of investment and focus on the AI/LLM integrations. I believe the investment would be better spent building out the Kagi index as well as privacy & security functionality. Again, it's a minor complaint and personal preference, not an attack on their business model, strategy or mission.

I still pay for the Ultimate subscription because I believe in them thoroughly. I just personally don't prefer to use LLMs most of the time.
