I don’t like the quick answers on search engines, it’s neither fish nor fowl. If I want an AI response I’ll use an AI. So I was using Kagi when I was looking for pages, not synthesising search results on my behalf.
And yeah the AI Assistant came with the free trial and I tried it out, but Perplexity Pro is light years ahead as an AI assisted search, it’s not even close. Honestly it looked like a proof of concept, so I didn’t really factor that into my consideration as I assumed it was still in development.

My experience of Kagi was (I tried it, even paid for it for some time) - Kagi is made for people who are, in some mysterious (or rather I should say “specific”?) ways, predisposed to like Kagi.
For anyone else Kagi makes very close to zero sense (I am one of those people to whom Kagi just doesn’t make sense).
For the former - it might be some kind of a placebo. Or an oddly satisfying feeling of getting to pay for something and form a usefulness bond or so. Or it might actually be useful which we would possibly never know
