I’m just surprised something nearly replaced google in my lifetime.


Google is now "a tool" not "the tool" for finding information. Perplexity and Phind do a good job and DDG is there for the privacy angle. In addition to LLMs just giving you the answer you need.


How on earths name do you use an LLM to find information ? I just don’t get it. For current events it out of date and it confidently feeds me shit ?

I might use them occasionally for a rubber ducky but , replacing Google ? Hm


Usually more for solution suggestion for programming stuff. Anything where I cam verify the answer.


Yeah fair enough. I just don’t see how this is entirely revolutionary though. We still need to know our stuff.


ChatGPT often googles it for me and gives me a summary


But it's still Google.


Kagi. Kagi replaced Google.


What a ridiculous claim.


I meant they replaced google for me and lots of people I know and interact with daily


Hard to say they replaced them, when they use Google in their backend...


And they have 30K users and serve 600K queries a day while Google serves some 8.5B a day apparently.

Love Kagi but they’re definitely not replacing Google anytime soon.
