Homepage Companions - Random or Rotate

Dustin

The new Homepage Companions are a lot of fun and I would love to see an option to regularly rotate them every day/week/page load.

I wanted this too, so I made a TamperMonkey userscript for it until it's an official feature:

// ==UserScript==
// @name         Kagi Random Companion
// @namespace    http://tampermonkey.net/
// @version      2025-11-29
// @description  Get a new companion each time you visit Kagi!
// @match        https://kagi.com/
// @icon         https://kagi.com/apple-touch-icon.png
// @grant        none
// ==/UserScript==
(async function() {
    'use strict';
    const companions = [
        // 'default',
        'doggo',
        'kagibara',
        'katto',
        'kagiroo',
        'doggo_orion',
        'doggo_detective',
        'doggo_sniff',
        'doggo_fly',
        'doggo_happy',
        'doggo_spin',
        'doggo_world',
        'doggo_work',
        // 'doggo_halloween',
    ]
    const companion = companions[Math.floor(Math.random() * companions.length)]
    await fetch("https://kagi.com/settings", {
        method: "POST",
        headers: {
            "Content-Type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",
        },
        body: `companion_id=${companion}&no_redirect=true`,
        credentials: "include"
    });
})();

I love the new Kagi search companions, but one that I'm missing is a "random companion" option - because how could I hope to pick and miss out on all the others?

This would select a random companion each time I went to the Kagi homepage, picking from all of the available companions.

This would extend the usefulness of the companions feature because right now I have to choose a single specific companion. This would allow me to have the enjoyment of all of the companions without having to manually switch them out, and allow me more variation than would be reasonable with manual switching.
