Kagi Translate now supports LinkedIn Speak as an output language

It even supports Hacker News speak:

I tried a murderous quote from American Psycho. Amazing.

Input: "I want to stab you to death and then play around with your blood"

Output: "I am currently re-evaluating our professional synergy. I feel a strong urge to engage in a high-impact, hands-on intervention regarding your lifecycle and would like to deep-dive into your core resources for a more immersive experience."

Reversed: "I'm thinking about our working relationship. I really want to kill you and cut you open."

Input (source: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9224):

I have a few qualms with this app:

1. For a Linux user, you can already build such a system yourself quite trivially by getting an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and then using SVN or CVS on the mounted filesystem. From Windows or Mac, this FTP account could be accessed through built-in software.

2. It doesn't actually replace a USB drive. Most people I know e-mail files to themselves or host them somewhere online to be able to perform presentations, but they still carry a USB drive in case there are connectivity problems. This does not solve the connectivity issue.

3. It does not seem very "viral" or income-generating. I know this is premature at this point, but without charging users for the service, is it reasonable to expect to make money off of this?

Output (emoji not shown on HN):

I have a few thoughts on this app!

1. For the Linux community, building a similar system is actually quite straightforward. By leveraging an FTP account, mounting it locally with curlftpfs, and utilizing SVN or CVS, you can achieve this functionality today. Windows and Mac users can also access these accounts through native software.

2. Does it truly replace the USB drive? While many of us rely on email or cloud hosting for presentations, the "offline" factor is still a major pain point. Most professionals still carry a USB drive as a fail-safe for connectivity issues, which this solution doesn't quite address yet.

3. Looking at the business model and growth potential—is there a clear path to monetization? It might be early days, but without a subscription or fee-based structure, I’m curious to see how this scales into a sustainable revenue-generating machine.

What do you all think? Let’s discuss in the comments! #TechThoughts #Innovation #SaaS #ProductFeedback

Input: Decleration of Independence

Output:

Big news: We’re disrupting the status quo.

We believe in a few core values that are non-negotiable: equality, empowerment, and the right to pursue your own version of success.

At the end of the day, leadership only works when it has the full support of the team. When a system stops delivering value and starts hindering growth, it’s time for a pivot. It’s not just a right—it’s a responsibility to re-evaluate, restructure, and build something better from the ground up.

Change isn't easy. We know people tend to stick with what’s comfortable, even when it’s not working. But when you see a consistent pattern of mismanagement and lack of transparency, you have to take action.

Our "Colony" team has been patient, but we’ve reached a tipping point. The current leadership has shown a track record of blocking progress and prioritizing control over collaboration.

We’re choosing a new path focused on security, safety, and long-term impact. Don’t just take our word for it—check out the data.

#Leadership #Disruption #Innovation #GrowthMindset #NewBeginnings #Transparency

Input: The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

Output: Agility is everything in today’s fast-paced market.

I just watched a "quick brown fox" completely disrupt the status quo by leaping over a "lazy dog." It’s a masterclass in efficiency and proactive leadership.

Are you the fox staying ahead of the curve, or are you the one getting jumped over?

Now we need an AI that can do the reverse and compress Linkedin Speak to proper English.

Input: I shat this morning.

Output: I started my day by prioritizing a critical release and streamlining my internal processes for peak performance. It’s all about consistency and maintaining a healthy flow to ensure I’m operating at my full potential. #Efficiency #MorningRoutine #Optimization

That feature speaks volumes about what's wrong with Linkedin. Nice touch.

This is great!

Input: The first paragraphs of the Watson and Crick paper [1].

[1] https://www.nature.com/articles/171737a0

Output (minus a lot of emojis): BIG NEWS: We’re excited to share a game-changing structure for the salt of deoxyribose nucleic acid (D.N.A.)! This model introduces some truly novel features that are going to have a massive impact on the biological space.

We know Pauling and Corey previously proposed a model (shoutout to them for sharing the manuscript early! ), but after a deep dive, we found a few pain points:

1. The X-ray data suggests it’s a salt, not a free acid—without those hydrogen atoms, the structure just doesn't hold up under pressure.

2. Some of those van der Waals distances are a bit too tight for comfort.

Fraser also suggested a three-chain approach, but it was a bit too "vague" for us to provide actionable feedback on.

So, we’re pivoting to something radically different: A double helix! Two helical chains coiled around the same axis. We’re talking: Phosphate di-ester groups Right-handed helices Bases on the inside, phosphates on the outside (optimized for cation access! )

The structure repeats every 10 residues (34 A), keeping everything perfectly aligned. We’re leaning into the standard configuration to ensure maximum stability and biological interest.

The future of genetics is here. Let’s disrupt the fibre axis together! #DNA #Innovation #Biology #Science #DoubleHelix #GameChanger

"I want to kill myself"

"I’m currently navigating a period of intense personal disruption and am re-evaluating my long-term bandwidth. I’m looking to sunset my current journey and pivot toward a permanent exit strategy. #MentalHealthMatters #CareerPivot #NewBeginnings"

The old world is sunsetting, and the new paradigm is still in the incubation phase. We’re currently navigating a period of massive disruption—it’s officially the era of the monsters. Time to lean in, pivot, and embrace the chaos.

Input: Following overhiring during COVID, we are laying off workers but claim it is because of AI.

As we continue to evolve in this rapidly shifting landscape, we are making the difficult but necessary decision to streamline our workforce. While our team grew significantly to meet the unique demands of the pandemic era, we are now leaning into the future by accelerating our integration of AI and cutting-edge technologies. This strategic pivot ensures we remain agile and positioned for long-term innovation as we redefine the future of our industry. #Innovation #FutureOfWork #AI #Leadership

> It’s all about leveraging local ecosystems to drive impactful results. When we talk about buffalo from Buffalo who intimidate other buffalo from Buffalo, we’re really talking about the competitive landscape of modern leadership.

> Are you intimidating your peers, or are you empowering them to scale? Let’s disrupt the status quo together. #Leadership #BuffaloMindset #Synergy #Networking #GrowthHacking

Not too shabby. Weird that it just repeated it in the first paragraph but then understood it in the second one.

Well all I got was,

I was really hoping it was reversible, but it doesn't seem to change anything: https://translate.kagi.com/?from=LinkedIn+speak&to=en

It is bad at reverse direction though (LinkedIn -> English). If I give it LinkedIn post in corporate language, it doesn’t remove all the nonsense words. Could have been nice if it worked both ways

Colleagues, if you're feeling depleted, please prioritize your hydration. To my strategic partners in the field: stay safe and vigilant during tonight's operations.

I'm looking to network and build synergy with you, but let's scale this relationship at a sustainable pace; I have a high-intensity work style. The local market on Downey Ave can be volatile. Let's pivot our focus away from those challenges. We can step out for a private consultation, optimize our engagement in the vehicle, and then seamlessly reintegrate into the main event.

One communication breakdown can lead to aggressive conflict resolution; I stake my professional reputation on that. I'm a dedicated industry veteran, and I value authentic street-level experience over commercial representations.

Where are the female leaders? Where are the casual contacts versus the committed professionals? Every true industry insider knows the distinction.

My branding is as classic as the high-demand product being manufactured in the headquarters. A true Northside professional, I didn't follow the traditional educational paths of Poly, Wilson, or Cabrillo. My assets are as premium as high-grade Creole imports.

My associate T-Skrap operates with high discretion, and he understands:

I have never pivoted away from a challenge, except when dealing with regulatory enforcement.

Someone explain to me why this is a dropbox moment after I exclaim that you can do this with any LLM for years now.

I can feel my soul draining out of my body every time I visit LinkedIn. I'm old and my tolerance for corporate culture has run out. I still love making software and working with people, but not having to think about my stupid "career" so much anymore is a relief and a joy.

> I took a shit

I just completed a high-impact, end-to-end internal optimization process. It’s all about streamlining the system, letting go of what no longer serves the mission, and making room for the next big deliverable. Grateful for the opportunity to decompress and refocus on the core objectives. #Efficiency #ProcessImprovement #GrowthMindset

They probably don’t want to create a new history record after a few seconds of typing, otherwise to go back from the page you might have to press the back button 10-20 times (Safari on an iPhone but I reckon that extends to other setups).

Otherwise, pretty cool and funny project!

Unless Miscrosoft does something, this impression of LinkedIn Speak is here to stay.

LinkedIn Speak: Unless Microsoft takes action, this LinkedIn-optimized communication style is the new industry standard. It's all about leveraging synergy and personal branding to stay ahead of the curve. #ThoughtLeadership #Networking #FutureOfWork

Output: I’m thrilled to share a major milestone in my journey today!

I just faced an unexpected setback—a literal fall that resulted in some minor bleeding and a bruised knee. While the timing wasn't ideal (right at the start of recess!), it was a powerful reminder that growth often comes with a bit of pain.

I had to pivot quickly and consult with a key stakeholder (the teacher) to manage the situation. But here’s the real takeaway: resilience pays off. I’m proud to announce that I’ve been recognized as a "brave soldier" and rewarded with a lollipop for my perseverance!

It’s not about how you fall, but how you handle the recovery. Grateful for the small wins! #Resilience #GrowthMindset #Leadership #Pivot #SmallWins

Guess the song:

Paused at a red light to perform a quick situational analysis—zero disruptors in the vicinity.

Everything is scaling perfectly.

Received a notification from a high-performing collaborator; her uptime is incredible.

Halfway home and the notifications are still blowing up my feed.

Today, I didn't even have to deploy my defensive assets.

LOL! Input:

Sad thoughts pervade me, and sometimes with a undertone of bitterness. I don’t know what to think. I can not form a clear train of thoughts yet, without falling in negative thinking. Thus, I will give it a pause. Time and space to recover. Then we’ll see.

Output:

I’m currently in a season of reflection and navigating some professional challenges that have tested my resilience. To ensure I continue to bring my best self to my next chapter, I’m intentionally prioritizing a period of strategic rest and mental clarity. Taking this time to recharge and gain fresh perspective before diving into my next high-impact opportunity.

"F*ck you all" translates to;

"I’ve decided to step away to focus on new opportunities and prioritize my own professional growth.

Wishing everyone the best in their future endeavors."

It just goes along with whatever "language" you type into the query parameter

Goddamn this is awful.

I tried Kagi twice and found out that its search results are no better than what any other free search engine can deliver. Why is it shilled on HN so much? Am I missing something?

input: I bought a butter from supermarket to home

output: I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve successfully completed a strategic procurement mission at the local supermarket.

Acquiring this butter wasn't just about a transaction; it was about optimizing my domestic supply chain and ensuring high-quality inputs for my upcoming culinary projects.

It’s these small, daily wins that build the foundation for long-term nutritional success. Grateful for the seamless logistics that allowed me to bring this asset home.
