Broken in many ways
Have been using assistant on the web for 1+ years. It’s good, grounded AI. But this new mobile app is broken to the point of being unusable. AI written and rushed, likely. I’m sure it will get better over time.

Hello. We are are sorry to hear you are having this experience. We'd love to fix the issues you're seeing. Could you please share some instances of things that felt unusable?
Rushed and buggy
I was waiting for the Kagi assistant app but this is rushed and buggy. You can copy and paste responses because if you try to select text that’s more than a page long it won’t select it properly and won’t scroll while selecting. It will often just stop updating the chat if signal is lost even momentarily unless you kill the app and reopen it. If you background the app while a response is processing and come back to foreground it, it doesn’t update the response unless you switch threads and back again. It’s a very non-native app that’s somehow managed to be a downgrade from the web.

Another great service from Kagi
Versatile and solid app. 24 hour auto-delete on chats is a nice privacy feature. This has become my most used assistant!

Thanks! Privacy is of utmost importance to us :)
Funktioniert gut mit einer Einschränkung
Läuft schnell und flüssig auf iphone und mac, aber bei beiden Versionen lassen sich Antworten nicht gut aus der App rauskopieren, wenn die Antwort länger ist als auf dem Bildschirm angezeigt wird. Man kann alles markieren klicken, aber dann wird wirklich der ganze Verlauf kopiert, was ich auch nicht brauche. Für meinen Workflow gerade noch hinderlich und deshalb benutze ich weiter den Browser

Not professional
You have to pay something like $25 for all ai models access. For that you get a very buggy app, models dont follow instructions, deepseek as slow as 56Kbps modem, expect lots of hiccups.
if you want something to use on the side its ok but if you want something to depend on look else where for something more professional.

Solid for personal AI + search
It’s a non-invasive AI tuned for research, backed by Kagi’s excellent search index. Lots of models available. This has easily displaced both ChatGPT and Claude (non-code) in my personal workflow

We're so glad to hear that. Thank you for your review!
Great assistant ruined by immature iOS implementation
Kagi developers: I’ve been using the Kagi assistant via the web for a long time now. I love it. I’m happy to have a native app, but the output rendering of markdown is broken — maps links come through as

Best Research Ai
So I have used pretty much all of the mainstream ai chat bots. Except grok. After using kagi I must say it is by far the research ai I have ever used. Even better than perplexity. Not only does it cite its sources I’ve noticed that it hallucinated significantly less. And in my experience, most of the time when it does hallucinate it’s because it’s pulling information that is outdated rather than just making something up like ChatGPT or Claude tends to do. I don’t know how it is at completing tasks and such maybe someone else can test that out but for me this is now my go to research ai.

Been Looking Forward to This!
I’m a heavy user of Kagi Search & Kagi Assistant. I’ve been using the PWA for Kagi Assistant on my iPhone, but this native app experience is much better. Thanks!

Woo!
Love the ability to get to Kagi assistant more quickly and with a better experience than mobile web.
Hey gucci what do you think about the new Kagi assistant app?

Really good
I’m glad Kagi continues to add support to their “assistant” product, this app will allow me to continue using it with more ease. I just hope they can add connectors to my google email and calendar.
Grounded ai and great compay
The ai doesn’t make things up even before models got improved and the ease of using custom assistants through search bar is more convenient than other chats.
