It would be nice if all models where available on every plan too.
They give more for free, and your only thought is "sure would be nice if they gave even more for free"?

#22I wonder why the rollout is specifically over the weekend. I'd personally do something like that Monday to Wednesday rather than Friday to Sunday. It seems like the kind of thing that needs monitoring and quick reactions - can easily get expensive if something goes wrong.
Possible that they see lower usage on weekends.

Lower WE usage. "Let's see if it crash"

#25Earlier quoted context omitted.
Yeah I concur. As an early adopter I first got forced off my grandfather plan to the regular one(at least I got a T-shirt). Now I have a limited number of searches that I have to keep track of and this has made me only use Kagi if necessary. This has dropped my number of searches significantly but at the end of the year I’m still being charged for renewing my plan even though I haven’t used a quarter of my allotted s…
The $10 plan has unlimited searches again.
And this isn't anything that has changed recently. It's been unlimited since 2023.

#26If the staff sees this - please stop preventing zoom. Not only is that bad for accessibility, it makes the article less useful for everyone - there's a screenshot included showing off the feature, but it's too small to read on the phone and I can't zoom in.
Firefox on Android has an accessibility setting called "Zoom on all web sites" that gets around this. Firefox's reader mode would help with this as well. It's a shame we need these workarounds instead of all websites being accessible by default :/
The original android browser had something much better, zoom until the size was right, double tap to reflow to fit

#27> A note on our fair-use policy > Basically our policy states that you can use AI models based on your plan’s value. Although I likely won't use Assistant, stuff like this is why I love Kagi. My relationship with them as a customer feels refreshingly transparent; I can't think of any other consumer SaaS provider that automatically answers my reflexive "how does this make money?" question. (Compare, say, Discord. It's…
I've paid for a monthly subscription with Discord for years
They also have ads in the app and they have other monetization features...
Re: Kagi Assistant is now available to all users
#28The "fair use" part takes a lot of place in this article. It talks a lot about what happens if you use more tokens than what you're allowed, but curiously doesn't pip a word about what happens if you use less - for example maybe with a partial rebate on your next billing cycle ? I think "fair" should mean "fair for all parties involved", currently it's rather a "we don't want to incur any risk" policy, since I don't…

How do you use kagi and not know the basic plan has unlimited searches and has had it for ages?

That's amazing! I'm already on FF on Android and didn't realise they introduced it. Thank you so much. I'll finally be able to see the small images on medium and substack!
Re: Kagi Assistant is now available to all users
#30Anyone used both Kagi assistant and perplexity and can share how was the experience?
I don't use the Kagi assistant yet, just the kind of AI response in search results. But regarding perplexity, I'm a little bit disappointed.
I started to use Perplexity like 1 or 1.5 years ago when it was really good in term of efficiency to find good results with an efficient interface, compared to chatgpt and co. But nowadays I find the assistant response to be not that good at all, with a lot of the links provided or the suggested follow up questions on the same quality as Google SEO top results or ads.
Despite having the paid plan or Perplexity, most of the time I try a request there and then still go to chatgpt or mistral to ask the question again.
For Kagi, when I use the in search ai response, it is mostly good directly.
