A non-technical individual may want to bookmark a specific Assistant, yet they would have no idea that '&q=' is a URL parameter to directly start a conversation.
The example links already include '&profile=' which is all there is documentation for.
Either the documentation should be updated to reflect that you can directly start a query and you do it with '&q=' or the '&q=' should be removed. Ideally, a mix of both.
For example, I'm a non-technical user. I see that I can bookmark my favorite model. I see the example: https://kagi.com/assistant?profile=gpt-4o&q=%s but personally I prefer Sonnet. So I copy and paste this into my bookmark bar but only change the profile, because I don't even know what &q= does. So I now have https://kagi.com/assistant?profile=claude-3-sonnet&q=%s and have no idea why new empty chats get started the moment I click the link.
However, now that I'm back on the documentation page, I'm wondering if some other things may be out of date. Are lenses still supported in Assistant even though there is no visual UI for them? If so, this should only work if the internet parameter is set to true, but the example doesn't set the internet parameter. What are the lenses parameter names? If &q is supported, it should be listed. And a refined set of examples should be added.
I would try to edit this myself, but with so many parts missing, I feel I may do more harm than good.
