Kagi

Kagi is a subscription-funded search and productivity suite built around privacy. You get ad-free web search, a multi-model assistant, translation, summarization, and news briefs without trackers selling your clicks. It targets people who want useful answers on the open web without the ad-driven clutter of mainstream search engines.

The product line spans Kagi Search for ranked results with customization and anti-tracking filters, Kagi Assistant for chatting with leading LLMs grounded in live search, and companion tools like Kagi Translate, Kagi News, and Kagi Summarize. Kagi also ships Orion Browser with built-in ad blocking and support for Safari, Chrome, and Firefox extensions.

Individuals, families, teams, and libraries use Kagi when research quality and data control matter more than a free ad-supported experience. The company funds the service through user subscriptions rather than advertising, so ranking incentives align with searchers instead of advertisers.
