Transparently, what we have been discussing is to offer our keystone products (search, assistant, translate, email, ...) as standalone items. Then we will offer a all-in-one Kagi bundle that has everything under one payment. The reason for

Our $10 search sub price is solely based off of the cost of operating search and has remained unchanged for years (est. 2023), before we offered any LLM-based features as part of our plans. We added AI features to the existing plans at no e

I'm working on making an internal proposal to integrate with Gemini on several fronts, yes. Still hatching the idea, and much else to do - maybe this summer it will come to fruition if it pans out :)

I don't think we would go to that end, not as a first step anyways; I'm thinking of some simpler ones. Sparing details as I'm just brainstorming for now and getting to know their communities. But, there are already plenty of

I've been tossing around the very early idea of seeing what we can do to elevate alcoves of the web such as Gemini[1] through Kagi. I am slightly conscious of that some people might not like us operating in that space, it's been o

We have about 50 employees distributed across NA, EU, and Asia; maybe about 10 of us are in the US/Canada? 4 of them are actually local to Belgrade and use the Hub regularly, and see occasional visits from the rest of the company - we

Trust with regards to...? Orion doesn't have any telemetry, doesn't force any updates on you, doesn't require any account. You can audit the application's behavior with standard tools to verify that it isn't "p

(I work at Kagi, but do not work on Orion) There's a lot of different reasons that people ask for open sourcing of Orion / software in general; could I ask you to expand a bit more as to which issues being open source would addres

I would say there are three major factors: 1. We have a diverse set of upstream sources. It would require all of them to be "compromised" for our results to completely tank. 2. We have a "crawler-lite" that solely coll

It just uses Stripe credit under the hood. So as long as you still have an account registered with us (active subscription or not), you can use that credit to resubscribe any time - or use it on other things, like API credits, or gift codes

Heya, this is Zac from Kagi. We do not block Tor - in fact, we recently launched our own self-hosted Tor node[1]. We have had problems with GCP blocking VPN and Tor traffic (mostly the former) when we have made zero configuration to do so.

Hi there, I'm Zac, Kagi's tech lead / author of the post-mortem etc. This has 100% been a learning experience for us, but I can provide some finer context re: observability. Kagi is a small team. The number of staff we have c
