Earlier quoted context omitted.

The Kagi I know would never have ads, much less charge to remove them. I'm pretty confident that this service will be another perk of the main Kagi subscription.

Kagi doesn't have ads because people pay for it. Google Search has ads because it's a free service. https://kagi.com/pricing

The point is that Kagi would not have ads.

Yes it charges for any use - but not to remove ads.

The announcement talks a big talk of trying to avoid echo-chambers, but the sources it quotes seem to be exclusively on the center-right (i.e. liberal) to far-right spectrum. Not a single left wing source as far as I can see. Everything contained within the pro-capitalist echochamber. No Jacobin, No Novara Media, No WSWS. Just another way of rearranging the same pro-market propaganda. As a paying Kagi subscriber, it'…

I see the Guardian - which is considered left wing in the UK - so I would think would be in the US as well.

> World doesn't live in echo chambers. The reality emerges from the collision of different viewpoints and perspectives - that's how we separate signal from noise To be honest, when people start talking about "echo chambers" it's usually because they are upset that I won't listen to bigoted alt-right hate. For me this term has gained a really negative connotation. I understand the problem but hearing the same tired ra…

For additional context, it's difficult to separate press releases by Kagi from the views of its founder, who has been criticized[0] for partnering with Yandex after Russia invaded Ukraine, and for other statements involving politics and tech[1].

Didn't know that. Kagi has been added to never touch pile.

If this is not meant to be an echo chamber, why is "Bay" one of the default categories? Most people don't live in the SF Bay Area. Most people who don't, don't even know what "Bay" would mean. I only know because I spend enough time in tech circles to 'get it'.

> Kite reads public RSS feeds of thousands of (community-curated) world-wide news sources and distills them into one perfect daily briefing

So AI-summarized version of /r/worldnews?

I know people love Kagi, but I really don't know how it is better than other news sources except the UI.

I like this a lot. A suggestion, I think it would be good to have a 'latest update' date on the articles, indicating the latest update of any source used. I understand this could be difficult but it would be nice.

Is it partnership or do they just simply use yandex as a data-feed among many other sources?

It's refreshing to see that the Kagi founder isn't on a political correctness crusade and chooses to focus on product.

Damn I was hoping Kite would be done with Crystal as well. I was actually working on a similar hobby project that is 80%+ similar even the Today In History! But the AI summary and execution is just so much better.

Kite actually got me to look at Kagi again. Joined the Trail, and downloaded Orion. Turns out Webkit Browser can actually be good with Multi Tab usage. It is just Desktop Safari implementations sucks.

Will try to run it for a few months and see how it goes. I really hope Kagi would succeed.

All I can say is America and its region of influence is in its own set of echo chambers
