I’m guessing because it’s valuable to have a trustworthy AI assistant that you can just explain what you want and it finds the best options

Keyword trustworthy, I think Kagi is one of the only companies that would be in a position to do this without pushback.

But, regular models and harnesses work okay for this too. You just have to specify “web search”, very important.

    Care to share your setup?

    I use pi and librechat and I am really limited by the lack of proper web connector. Testing Tavily right now, Kagi is next.

    I wonder why I see so few comments about it on HN, does everybody have this figured out already? Am I a dummy? Am I severely overstating how important of a frature web access and search is for LLM use?

      I use Claude code for basically everything, since the harness is pretty complete. The online chat interface works fine too. For basic research I downgrade the model and effort. Smarter models are good at knowing when to web search rather than guess, but you should always specify “do a web search”.

      The one caveat is opus has an absolutely awful voice. The way it writes is annoying and verbose. Sonnet actually works better for this type of thing.
