Didn't know that and thanks for giving us the idea. Aibó sounds much better than Sidekick, we may need to rename :)
Isn't that already the name of Sony's robot dog?
It is.

#102Kagi founder here. This is very early (alpha) concept built by a single Kagi Labs developer in a few weeks. The proper infrastruture and product is not built yet. We are launching a prototype to get feedback and gauge demand. Why does this exist? It would be an efficient way for us to build and expand our own index. Assuming users of this would be Kagi users, we would expand our index by tens of thousands of high qua…
What would your approach be for pricing for wiki-type sites that are nonprofit but may have hundreds or thousands of pages with assorted media? I know that decent search beyond just name matching is a recurring issue for independent fandom wikis, which rarely have the funding or coordination to do anything fancier than just a Mediawiki site. For a random example, there's the Baldur's Gate 3 wiki ( https://bg3.wiki ),…
It would be great if there was a free version for charity/non profit/open source. I don't know if this is feasible for Kagi. But I do know that many of these types of wiki/forum/blog are run on a shoestring.

I have personally started to avoid Google’s and others immediate answers, because they are often very wrong because they are picked out of the contex. They try to show what you want to see, but it often means something else.
I have used Kagi for several months now, and I find that the ability to decide which searches I want quick answers for to be useful. There are certain searches where I feel comfortable with accepting a quick answer, and others where I don't think it would be useful. Being able to avoid the clutter unless I want it is nice.
Sports scores and stocks. If kagi inlined those results I would be very happy to not need to use the Google bang.
Additionally, the google bang destroys suggested terms and with no kagi history I'm typing the whole query.

It sounds good, except I don't want AI on my site. Any way to not have the AI part?

Even though Sony has taken the sidekick word, there are lots. The characters 愛(love), 相(together) have "ai" readings and are productive. The verb あう goes to an あい noun form that is productive for forming words like aizuchi. Plus various others. aite 愛犬 aiken: beloved dog 相手 aite: companion, other party, opponent. 藍色 aiiro: indigo blue; 濃藍 koai: deep indigo. ... https://jisho.org/search/あい%3F
and "jisho" means "dictionary" haha! loved the explanation, although I can only read the hiragana and love jisho too! have to get on with those wanikani exercises...

I'd use this tomorrow...
If it worked in a shell script or similar old-school unix architectural style on my bespoke static site generator, which is a slow-motion train wreck of a weekend hack-fest being ported from python/staticjinja to rust/minijinja.
Is kagi competing with whoogle?
Whoogle gives me the old-school, seemingly linear algebra of pagerank, hauntology that I expect.

That is a great question. Well we first have to ask what would be the purpose of someone going through the trouble to create such (LLM generated) spammy SEO content? The answer (for the majority of web at least now) is to monetize it with ads/affiliate links. If that is the case then the answer is easy as we already penalize sites with ads/trackers on them for our general web search, and completely boot them out of o…
Problem is that many webites used to hire writers which wrote tangentially related posts to get their main product higher ranked. Like LogRocket and Partition Minitool do. Combine that with that guy who boasted about his 'SEO heist', I think it's a very valid concern.
I have solved many problems because of a blog post created by company that wanted to get their product name out there and I don't think they should be looked at negatively for doing that. Are upset whenever a companies tech blog lands on HN? Because it is virtually the same thing. If you use Kagi and come across a site that you find is low quality and spammy then just block it. That's the cool thing about using Kagi.

Is there any reliable AI generated content detector today ? I've tried many free and paying ones online, but they're aren't reliable
It's impossible to make. You cannot prove any sentence was created by an LLM and you can't prove it wasn't.
