Kagi Summarize Apps Feedback

daniell_kagi

Recast Can you share the URL you are trying to summarize here or sending it to support@kagi.com ?
I'll see if I can reproduce this issue.

It is possible to summarize any article in the original language; for example, an Italian article is automatically translated in English (because of my account's language maybe?)

daniell_kagi

kg4maz You can select "Detect Language" in the settings sheet, however you might be right that in some case the language detection seems to be falling back to English.
Can you maybe share the URL you were trying to summarize either here or by sending to support@kagi.com?
I will file a bug report internally to investigate this.

Someone posted this in r/SearchKagi, but I’d love an auto light/dark mode that mimics the setting at the OS level.

In the android app using a Samsung S23 Ultra the font size for key points is way too large. Its the same size as the headings for summary and ELI5.

Can't see a big difference between medium length summary and ELI5 either in the couple of things I tried. It seemed to paraphrase without really simplifying or more detailed explanation of the actual context. Instead it seemed to target simplifying individual words like Britons --> people from Britain.

In the Kagi Summarize app I can set a light or dark mode, but not a mode that switches with the OS level light/dark mode.

Currently this means in the evening I’m blasted with a scorching white blast of light when summarizing an article.

Hopefully adding a “match OS theme” color option is on your backlog for this app 🙂

daniell_kagi Yes, I've tried to do that in Italian, French and English but I've always had an English summary ( because of the language setting in my Kagi settings maybe? ). I'll write to support@kagi.com.
Thanks to all!

FYI: Mozilla has announced a webpage summarization tool for iOS 26 that can be activated by shaking the phone. And, "If you have an iPhone 15 Pro or later with iOS 26+, the summary is created on your device using Apple Intelligence."

However, that’s Firefox-only (which lost most of its reason to exist with Firefox 57), and - given its history of dropped products - it wouldn’t be a wise decision to trust Mozilla to keep the service available for the foreseeable future.

That said, it wouldn’t surprise me if Apple just made Kagi Summarize obsolete soon. They’re trying to focus on AI text tools recently.

I would like to echo the sentiment that it'd be great to have the .apk file externally hosted outside of any store. I use a phone without any Google services, and I download and update apps via Obtainium, so it'd be great to be able to get the updates outside of Google Play Store. Right now I am forced to use external third-party tools to download the .apk from Google Play, which is not ideal.

I shared the Kagi Summarize app with my dad, and he wondered if he could copy and paste or otherwise share a summary. It appears that you can do neither. I thought this would be a nice feature to add.

copy and paste or otherwise share a summary

Yes, we’ll add that in upcoming versions 🙂

I have tried to use Kagi Summarize with the new transcription sharing option in Pocket Casts. Unfortunately I had no luck. It seems Pocket Casts shares a txt file and Kagi Summarize doesn't pick it up for some reason.

Let's make this work in the next update!

Yannick

nichu42 Just to be sure: you want to summarize the text content and not the audio content, right?

daniell_kagi

nichu42 I just tried it on one of the podcast episodes in Pocket Casts and it worked. Do you have an episode link that I could test with? I'm trying to reproduce this issue.

nichu42

Yannick Yes. The app has transcribe built-in. You can share the transcription. It seems it sends a plain txt file due to clipboard limitations. See https://github.com/Automattic/pocket-casts-android/pull/4369

nichu42

daniell_kagi Any. It doesn't work at all for me. On my tablet, a transparent (empty) popup appears when I share to Summarizer. On my phone, that popup seems to be fullscreen. I don't see anything happening, but all buttons become inaccessible.

daniell_kagi

nichu42 Thanks, I'm assuming you are on Android. Let me investigate and get back to you.

The app is convenient, I’d like it to use a dark theme when the OS is configured as such though.
