Kagi Assistant is a product feature backed by Kagi Search and large language models.

Kagi Assistant is currently in open beta only available to Ultimate plan members.

Assistant Modes ​

Research ​

Research assistant uses Kagi search and external sources like Wolfram Alpha, together with an AI model to answer your queries. This model also allows you to upload a file (up to 8 MB) or provide a URL (article, PDF, video, podcast, etc.) to use as context. If an image is provided it will be processed using GPT4 Vision.

This mode is available in two variants:

• Fast: Kagi search coupled with a fast LLM (claude-instant). Optimized for speed, while not sacrificing quality. Access directly with the !fast bang.
• Expert: Multiple Kagi searches (and external services) together with the best available LLM (claude-2) for the highest accuracy and comprehensive responses. Access directly with the !expert bang.
