What's the difference between using Kagi and Perplexity? On X everyone talks about Perplexity, on HN, about Kagi. Do they both search -> put results in an LLM as input text?
Perplexity is yet another AI startup trying to find a way to monetize LLMs. Will they survive when the bubble pops? Idk. Do I trust them with my data? Fuck no. Just look at all the advertising they're investing in and ask yourself how they plan to make that money back.
Must be your X echo chamber. I haven't heard about Perplexity in ages.

No. Kagi does have optional LLM-based answers, but at the core they present as a search engine and not a chatbot like Perplexity.
