Kagi provides AI model access to all users

Kagi, the paid search engine, is expanding access to its AI assistant feature to all users, including those on the free trial tier. This allows users to access various AI models for both chatting and web searches. The "Assistant" feature, previously exclusive to higher subscription tiers, now offers access to models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. Users can choose models and control web access for generated responses with hyperlinked references. Kagi offers tiered subscriptions with varying search and interaction limits, including a free trial. The service aims to provide a private, ad-free search experience funded by user subscriptions, with a "Fair Pricing" system.
