Price: Premium
Description
Kagi is a premium search engine designed to provide a superior, user-centric search experience. Unlike traditional search engines, it is completely ad-free and prioritizes user privacy, never tracking your activity or selling your data. Kagi leverages its own indexing and AI capabilities to deliver highly relevant and personalized search results, which users can further refine by boosting or lowering the rank of specific domains. It also integrates AI summaries, called "Kagi Summaries," directly into search results, providing quick answers without needing to click through multiple links. Kagi targets users who value privacy, demand high-quality search results, and are willing to pay for an enhanced search experience. It stands out by rejecting the ad-supported model, offering unparalleled customization, and integrating advanced AI features directly into the search interface.
