What Kagi is

Kagi is a search engine you pay for. The subscription removes advertising, and in exchange it offers custom result filters called Lenses, quick AI answers, the ability to rate or block sites, and interface personalisation.

What you can do with it

  • Search without ads or tracking-heavy result pages
  • Create lenses for particular topics or scopes
  • Down-rank or block sites you find unhelpful
  • Get quick AI summaries where useful
  • Customise the interface to your habits

Who it is for

  • Researchers wanting higher signal results
  • People avoiding ad-driven search
  • Users willing to pay for search quality

What to watch out for

  • A subscription means a limited free allowance before payment is required; check current terms
  • Paying for search does not guarantee neutral results; lenses and site ratings still reflect your own choices
  • AI quick answers can be wrong, so verify before relying on them
  • Privacy-friendly positioning should be checked against the actual policy
