Basically: use GPT to help copy an entire web site, then jack their search results, get profit. Aided by the fact that search engines are shit. This is something you could do before, GAI just made it faster.

Web2 is going great!

    The AI stuff is entirely optional. I’ve been using Kagi for about four months and I forgot it exists. I haven’t been nudged to use it even once. I think they’re just buying AI service from someone else, not training their own.

    So far they’ve been good about remembering they’re providing a search experience as their product and not chasing shiny tech press objects. I find it does a consistently good job of just finding what you tell it to and otherwise just getting out of your way, which is honestly all I want a search engine to do.
