I compared the AI clients I find most interesting, focusing on ethics and privacy. In short, I really like the @kagi.com Assistant for its data controls and user-centric approach.

Nice work but I don’t see You.com in your list. They promise privacy as well.

I see that their Free and Pro plans explicitly retain our data and use it to train models. Their privacy policy also states that they use personal information for advertising purposes and de-identified information "for any lawful purpose." No thank you.

You’re probably referring to this comparison chart? you.com/plans Yes, that does seem to be a point in favor of Kagi. Well spotted.

In case it helps, we also just launched a transparent privacy guide so you know exactly how your data is handled with each provider on the Assistant: help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/llms...

Yup!

Thanks for sharing! I had not heard of it, I'll take a look. Is it what you mainly use?

I use @kagi.com as my main *search* engine. You.com has become my Swiss army knife for AI-related tasks beyond Kagi, because it offers access to different LLMs. In fairness, Kagi’s “Ultimate” plan offers similar features but it’s quite pricey, and I prefer having 2 different tools over a single 1.
