Especially odd as that’s exactly what Kagi assistant already does. Maybe they’d just rather use their key than pay Kagi for LLM based search.
On that note, Kagi research is legit amazing. There have been times I’ve spent 30min searching for something without success. As a last resort I asked Kagi research and it found why I could not. More than one option even. Now intend to use almost more than normal search.
Yeah, I agree with other comments here that the traditional search offering has gotten a bit worse (I think because the whole web has gotten worse), but research surfaces great results. Forums, small blogs and websites with authoritative views on subjects I search for. Really great. Yes, it is as expensive as any other AI pro plan unfortunately, but worth it for me.
