alt Hacker NewsI was a subscriber for 2 years but as of late, I've had less and less need for Kagi's awesome search experience. Most of my querying can happen thru Gemini or Claude even if it's a bit slower but I don't have to pay $10/mo for something that is not worth $10 to me now.

They have a $5/month plan now, if that makes a difference to you

This is more work up front, but I have a bot I communicate with via Telegram, and I've hooked up Kagi API Search and Extract, and now achieve something similar. I just ask it to do a web search to try to find the answer to my question.
It's pay-as-you-go. Not particularly expensive.
But what happens when search gets so optimized for delivering ads through AI, that your AI starts giving you crappy ad-driven results (which is already happening).
We'll need a way to hook up the agent to a subscriber search service.
