      Maybe “overuse” isn’t the right word. “Over-investment” maybe.

      I think the Universal Summarizer and Quick Answer are okay but the Assistant just doesn’t do it for me. No one is forcing me to use it or pay for it however and I don’t run the company, so it’s a moot point…

      They’ve reiterated that AI is central to their mission, I just don’t find the LLM interfacing very compelling personally.

        Kagi doesn’t do that. It doesn’t even show you an AI response unless you specifically request it.

          I wish there was a cheaper plan that didn’t involve AI at all. Like, I don’t care to have X prompts every month. I’d like to pay just for the engine.

            You do not pay anything different for AI prompts. You should really actually try the product before you make up all these things about it.

              But what you pay involve the calculated cost of using their AI, otherwise they’d be losing money. So it should be possible to have a lower price that didn’t give you any prompts.

                The other poster is right… The base plans don’t contain any amount of “prompts” and are very reasonable /affordable.
