Ryan WellsThank God I listened to @gruber when he said to try Kagi. I’ve been using it for a year, and just renewed with a family pro plan last week!

Paul Stockton@ryanwells @gruber been a Duo user for over a year too, absolute game changer for my daughter using the Academic lenses for her research
Mārtiņš Bruņenieks@ryanwells I want a company like them to succeed but on the other hand they keep paying for Yandex API, funding Russia's war in Ukraine by proxy. This post claims it is 2% of their expenditure: https://ounapuu.ee/posts/2025/07/17/kagi/
((Jann Gobble)) 🏳️🌈@ryanwells @gruber so, google crawls internet, ingests all our info, and now it decouples the info I provided them from all over my website to give you “it’s” own answer - never showing source. Great! Lawsuits will happen!
Ps: my site has nothing on it right now as I switch providers but has had 30+ years of a Perl users mailing list archived on it in the past. So, yeah I’m kinda mad.
Victor Rodrigues@ryanwells @gruber been using Kagi since the early days and have never gone back to Shmoogle. What’s even better is that my youngest uses Kagi Assistant (with Kimi 2.5 Reasoning - there are issues with 2.6 which support says they’re onto) to help her with her schoolwork and it’s absolutely incredible. Not extra Clause or ChatGPT subscription, and I love their privacy first focus.
Lee Hauser@ryanwells @gruber So true. I've had it for a couple of years now and I don't even miss this Giggle thing (that's what it's called, right?)
