I'm an avid Kagi user and particularly rely on it for my work which also involves extensive literature research. While Kagi's current capabilities for finding and summarizing relevant articles are promising, there's room for improvement compared to specialized research services.
I believe enhancing these research features could be a significant differentiator for Kagi. Have you considered integrating academic search APIs like scite.ai (which I've found extremely valuable) or developing similar functionality? Such improvements would make Kagi my solution for almost all online activities.
Cheers!
A user could use a lens or a literature research "button" directly in kagi, or use a link similar to "continue in assistant" as already exists. Kagi could then return a real summary of an extensive literature research. Scite.ai does, in my opinion, the best job of implementing this in a "search enginy" way, as opposed to other services that just provide an excel table with summaries of the papers. This also has its application but feels less like something a primary search engine does, but would also be nice to have.
