RSS is a strange choice in 2025. As a search engine they are in the position to extract things from web pages themselves. They already need this capability in order to properly rank the page.
I'm not affiliated, but I've used https://www.memeorandum.com/ for more than a decade. Gives me a good high-level view of the news. I'm a Kagi customer and I definitely don't want anything they do with the news.

Kagi is probably the only pro-LLM company praised on HN. Perhaps people's hatred towards Google outweighs that of LLM. Imagine if Google news use LLM to show summaries to the users without explicitly saying it's AI on the UI. Ironically, one of the first LLM-induced mistakes experienced by average people was a news summary: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cge93de21n0o.amp
> Kagi is probably the only pro-LLM company praised on HN. Kagi made search useful again, and their genAI stuff can be easily ignored. Best of both worlds -- it remains useful for people like myself who don't want genAI involved, but there's genAI stuff for people who like that sort of thing. That said, if their genAI stuff gets to be too hard to ignore, then I'd stop using or praising Kagi. That this is about news a…
Even Google calls the overview box AI Overview (not saying it doesn't hurt content hosting sites.)
Just to be clear I'm understanding correctly: This is pulling the content of the RSS feeds of several news sites into the context window of an LLM and then asking it to summarize news items into articles and fill in the blanks? I'm asking because that is what it looks like, but AI / LLMs are not specifically mentioned in this blog post, they just say news are 'generated' under the 'News in your language' heading, whi…
Disappointing. Non-LLM NLP summarization is actually rather good these days. It works by finding the key sentences in the text and extracting the relevant sections, no possibility for hallucination. No need to go full AI for this feature.
that "Kagi News" is at the top of "Hacker News" speaks volumes about the state of the "hacker"

Do the checkmarks do anything? I expected them to disappear after a reload (like hiding a post on Hacker News), but apparently that's not what they're for. "Mark as read" checks all the checkmarks, but since they're still there after a reload, I don't see the point.
