This is probably similar to the Wolfram|Alpha + Siri integration (which AFAIK no longer exists): - Kagi will rely on Wolfram's okay-ish stack to immediately add features to their engine - Kagi will, over time, 1-by-1 remove the reliance on the (generally slow and expensive) Wolfram API with built-in features - Once the meat of the features have been rewritten internally by Kagi in more performant and self-controlled…

#52I’m really curious if they still maintain their privacy promises with wolfram results

#53I’ve been a paying Kagi customer for a few months now. It has reconciled me with search. Result quality is great, and the tools like fastgpt and the summarizer are precious. I was a bit reluctant but I don’t regret doing it. Really happy to see Wolfram added to it!

#55Pity it can't subtract time. > 16:28 - 14:50 = 22 hours and 22 minutes although, Google never could not too.
Re: Kagi and Wolfram
#56I love using WA as a calculator since it's so good at handling units. Silly example: I just tried "average distance to moon/Eiffel Tower height" in Kagi and got "= about 1.167 million" (powered by WA).
It can't handle non-numeric quantities like "average distance to moon" but Google's calculator has handled calculations with units very well for 15 years at least. It definitely puts Apple's Spotlight calculations to shame. I find that W|A works fine until it fails to parse my query and then I have no idea how to fix it, because the syntax is unclear.

Yes, one vexing thing is the inability of search engines to convert time. 5209s to hours and minutes? Oh, I still need to tell you how to do in steps. Why is this so?
Kagi just resolved “5209 s in h” quite perfectly.

#58Does Kagi use Google to host their blog or am I misinterpreting the log entry of my pihole? 🞬 blog.kagi.com (blocked ghs.googlehosted.com)

#59> To ensure result quality, we automatically downrank pages with advertising and tracking, which are often associated with low-quality or machine-generated content. That is one of the most compelling things I've ever heard about a search engine. How well does kagi work for niche "reddit queries" like "best waterproof midi synthesizers reddit"?
I configured Reddit as a "Lense" (similar to what Kagi uses for things like searching across Forums, or news). With that, now I have a simple toggle at the top of Kagi which allows me to immediately turn a search into a Reddit search.

#60Earlier quoted context omitted.
Just do it. Kagi has been my favorite $10/mo spent before this collab already.
I pay for it for my entire company. Life's too short to make people click through to page 9 of Google to get past the ads, the spam, the malware, the made up AI bullshit etc.
