Does Kagi have any value in the era of LLMs? My understanding is that it aggregates result from different providers.

Kagi assistant is effectively a superset of other LLM chat apps. Has access to kagi search which is a also a superset of search backends for the assistant

I second the utility of the Kagi Assistant. I didn't think I would use it much but now do so constantly. Especially because ending a regular search query in a question mark will cause the results page to lead with the Assistant answer! It's a delightful way to try both search and LLMs in one UI interaction.

Sixty-ten-eight! Sixty-ten-nine! Four-twenties! 1999 == One thousand, nine hundreds, four twenties, ten, nine. I studied French in grade school over ten years and I love it. But the way numbers convert into language is wild. I tease it with love.

"Four twenties and ten" is better than the Danish "five minus a half, times twenty".

Good grief, it gets worse. It's half third [ordinal] times twenty, ½ #3 × 20.

Given the title "Search Results Gone Wrong", I'd like to take this opportunity to try to shame Kagi into fixing the search results for the "More results" feature. This simple feature is broken in that it often gives you repeats of the same initial results it gave. That is, instead of giving you "More results", it gives you a lot of "Same results". I reported this as a bug about 6 months ago, and was quickly told it w…

Somewhat related, Reddit has been broken for me in a very similar way for more than a year now. Whenever I scroll down to load more pages, it will populate with about 80% the same threads as it loaded on previous pages. Over and over, such that by the time I’m on page 6 or so, I will have 6 of the exact same thread. Really stupid bug that probably only happens with old.Reddit or RES or something. But it’s nice in tha…

I can confirm that that bug exists even on "new" Reddit.

Is Kagi worth paying for? It's been on my radar for a while.

I think so. I switched to it because I have YouTube tv - essentially Google as cable tv provider - and noticed how commercials became too correlated with recent Google searches for comfort. The only time I end up switching back to Google is for looking up local businesses reviews.

Isn't that what all of the search engines do now by default?

You say that as if LLMs are a good thing.

You say that as if a technology can be easily classified as good or bad.
