Announcing proportional source attribution in AI answers

We built technology that provides proportional content attribution in AI answers.

Reference links, each accompained by a percentage value of their contribution to the final answer

This helps you understand the importance of each source in forming the final answer.

More importantly, this technology paves the way down the road for Kagi to share profits with publishers participating in our AI answers. This would happen automatically for all websites, with no deals, no contracts needed.

Try it Kagi Assistant now.

Study mode in Assistant

We're introducing our take on study mode: a Kagi Custom Assistant designed to guide your learning journey through active discovery. Using Socratic method, evidence-based learning techniques, and collaborative exploration, it helps you uncover answers rather than simply providing them.

Please note that the Kagi Study Custom Assistant is available only on the Ultimate plan, as it relies on premium models.

Kagi in Japan

We're honored to join the Shibuya Startups program and community in Japan! 🇯🇵

This exciting opportunity came about through meeting Shiho Watabe, the startup hub manager, during our recent Japan visit. We were immediately drawn to their vision of supporting bold, boundary-pushing ideas from the heart of Tokyo's creative scene.

Japan has already become our second highest source of traffic through organic growth, thanks largely to Kagi Translate, and we see tremendous potential to deepen our presence there. Being part of this program opens doors to bring Kagi directly to Shibuya's libraries and schools.

Kagi in the news & around the web

This video by EposVox perfectly sums up how when we choose better search engines like Kagi, we get better search results that actually surface smaller sites and content by independent creators.
Great segment featuring Rory Sutherland and Kagi's fair pricing model, which you can learn more about here.
We really enjoyed reading this wonderful review of Kagi on a beautifully designed blog.

Our colleague Jacob does a deep dive into how we optimized Kagi Assistant to load twice as fast.

How search engines should work

In collaboration with artist Chaz Hutton, we've illustrated what search should be: Zero ads. Zero tracking. Just the results you're looking for.

Comic comparing current search engines vs. ideal search: Top panel shows person seeking 'the thing' being bombarded with ads and irrelevant results from multiple figures holding signs. Bottom panel shows clean interaction where person asks for 'the thing' and receives exactly what they wanted.
