Here is the English translation of the previously listed issues:

- Unable to find a sufficient number of sources or identify specific sources requested by the user.
- The number and ranking of found sources are inadequate.
- Does not perform searches when necessary.
Feature-Related Issues:
- Image search and image generation functions are confused or do not work properly.
- The video search feature is very weak.
Language and Recency Issues:
- Performance in different languages is quite low; language support is insufficient.
- Struggles to correctly perceive dates and recency (e.g., adds "2025" as a search term instead of filtering by this year).
Core Model, Response Quality, and Instruction Following Issues:
- The underlying model of the system is inadequate.
- Insufficient in understanding and executing given instructions.
- Does not correctly trigger or utilize expected tools when different or more complex prompts are given.

it's been about two months since you submitted this and things around Ki have been improving, for example it can do site: searches now. But I think in general a lot of the feedback you submitted should have improved, could you maybe re-evaluate your findings?

About your first screenshot, I'm not sure if that's the best use of Ki, in the sense that: it's better to ask it a question I think. But sure.

define additional workflows via APIs

This will probably be done via MCP's which is in the works

Deep Research mode is also coming.

Also it tries to be smarter when searching now, while it can't yet do more advanced things than a site: search, it does seem smarter than it used to be. for example if you ask for info about OpenStreetMap tagging, it'll likely to a site:wiki.openstreetmap.org search.

But yeah, won't comment on everything you mentioned in your feedback because I think a lot of it is already addresses actually. Feel free to try it out again and let us know
