Happy Kagi user for many many months now. The only thing I fall back to Google for are local results (specifically local business search - like restaurants). I still have an Android phone, use Gmail, Drive, Docs, Maps, etc - but Kagi has almost entirely replaced my standard Google search results.

And it's making me do something crazy. It's so good that I am even suggesting it to non-technical friends and family. 99% of them look at my like I'm crazy when I say it's a paid search engine, but hey - I'm trying.

I also find myself using the "quick answer" feature a lot too. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/quick-answer.html

You can trigger quick answer with a "?"

But also feel free to try adding "!ai" to send the query to the assistant for a deeper dive

I did know about the "?" feature and use it all the time but I didn't know about "!ai" - very cool I'll have to try it. Thanks!
