For me, Chatgpt / Bard and similar (Perplexity) has replaced 85 percent of Google searches so I feel Kagi will be a step backwards in this regard

Perhaps better than Google, but the whole paradigm shifted




Kagi has FastGPT and the AI assistant mode (available via several bangs like !fast, !expert, and !code). Though the latter is beta and only available to Ultimate subscribers


One thing I like about Kagi's FastGPT is that it always includes citations in the output. This emphasises that I'm still doing a search, just with a fancier interface, not consulting an all-knowing oracle.

When I ask an AI tricky questions, the responses usually point me in the right direction without fully solving the problem, so those citation links are really useful.

With Bard in particular, I find it often gives a confident but incorrect answer. When I point this out, it apologises then gives another incorrect answer, and so on.
