i’m pretty sure my neighbour’s dog is going to announce a new ai assistant any day now
it’s still ironing out some bugs, but you can try it out after enabling it in the “lab” section
The neighborhood stray has one called “Catscan”
An
As a surprise to absolutely nobody, the search company highly involved with LLMs makes a third (forth?) LLM assisted tool
It’s probably not written in Forth
Noooooooo
>AI-powered product >look inside >ChatGPT wrapper
More than just ChatGPT:
Yeah, ik. I just said ChatGPT because there are more people who know what that is than people who also know the term LLMs
But… Then that’s literally false?
Yeah, modern AI-assistants are LLMs, that’s not surprising. I’d even argue that LLMs are the right tool for the job here (but not all AI, or at least only as the part that binds the rest together)
I phrased that wrong, in my first comment I was just poking fun at how companies are adding LLMs to everything for the sake of it, like:
- Add LLM integrations
- ???
- Profit
And they aren’t doing anything innovative either, they just act as a middleman between you and OpenAI/Google/etc.
It looks like Kagi assistant is one of those rare cases where the LLM integration does actually make sense, but I don’t think paying $15 more is much better than just opening chatgpt.com in a second tab
Oh no, someone would use hyperbole for a JOKE?! The AUDACITY!
I’m out until one of these can assist with my crank
I’m not sure what I need an AI assistant for when I’m eating breakfast, but OK.
Some people think about stuff while they’re doing other stuff, sometimes, and sometimes they’ll want to action that stuff, and sometimes it’s handy to be able to ask something else to action it instead.
It’s not going to be useful to everyone, but it doesn’t have to be - for example I still don’t have a use for a tablet or even a laptop really, but I recognise that for other people they can be handy. Just don’t buy it if you don’t need it.
This is the way to do it.
all of these features are on-demand
none of the things you don’t [need] (such as user data harvesting, ads & tracking).
Choice of leading LLM models from all the leading providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, …)
All threads are private by default, retained only as long as you want and subscriber data is not used for training models
It’s also only on the unlimited plan.
AI assistant with an actual business model for once
I’d argue that Perplexity is in this camp as well. It’s my go-to for anything more open-ended or for multi-step research I need to do. No need to wade through garbage search results, and it cites its sources. Kagi seems to be doing very much the same thing, but in addition to their paid search engine service.
I don’t know that I’d switch from Perplexity, but I could see an argument for it.
