User reviews

Better options exist

Models are slow, the app is buggy, costs $25/month subscription. If you want AI better alternatives exist

I want to use it but it is sooo slow

How come do a simple question would take like 5 mins?

Buggy

The app os very buggy and will fail with sending follow up chat messages or won’t refresh the ui when there is an answer. I have to close and restart the app constantly to use it.

Broken UI

I can’t scroll to read the full answer and I keep getting error messages.

What I want but also janky

I was pretty excited to see Kagi release an assistant client. I would much rather funnel requests through Kagi. However the interface frequently has problems: I often get a message that something failed with a “retry” button that literally never works, or I send a query that never elicits a response, as if the message got lost. The fix for now is to restart Assistant, but it’s pretty frustrating and it makes me wonder if Kagi is vibecoding their Assistant client.
