The one area that'd make kagi thousands of dollars from me and the apps I use would be to lower their APO searches to a sane price.

Currently they charge 2.5c for an API search. This is between 1,000 to 1,000,000 times more than other companies in the space charge.

AI systems need to do dozens of searches for every question to get good results and kagi's results are really good. But not 1,000,000 times better than the competition.



Hi, the API is still work in progress. Expect many more features and lower price once we officialy launch it (next few months)


I love kagi, but indeed I am a bit concerned of long term usefulness/sustainability of their model if they do not manage to reduce their search costs.


We are rapidly approaching the point where using an embedding model to run over the whole internet will be the best way to rank search results.

At that point all the special sauce Google et al have spend decades mastering will be worth as much as expertise in analogue computers is today.


maybe don't search with an llm
