Kagi Assistant
Multi-model AI assistant included with a Kagi Search plan

What is Kagi Assistant?
Kagi Assistant is the AI chat that comes with a Kagi Search subscription. It puts models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral and other developers behind one interface, with optional web access powered by Kagi Search, file uploads and custom assistants. A Quick mode is available on every plan, while premium models and the multi-step Research mode need the Ultimate plan.
Kagi Assistant is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $5 per month, or $54 per year (Kagi Starter). See every plan
Good for
- Kagi Search subscribers who want an assistant on the same plan
- People who want several model developers without separate subscriptions
- Research that should draw on ad-free, personalized search results
Worth knowing
- Kagi Assistant is not sold on its own: it comes with a Kagi Search subscription, and the plans listed are Kagi's plans.
- Premium models and Research mode are limited to Ultimate at $25 per month. Other plans use standard models and Quick mode.
- Usage is capped by value: the plan price sets the token allowance, and AI interactions stop until the next billing cycle once it is used up.
- The free Trial is a one-time allowance of 100 searches and 100 AI interactions and does not renew.
Key features
- Many models, one subscription
- Pick from models by OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, Meta, DeepSeek and others, and switch model in the middle of a thread. Premium models are limited to the Ultimate plan.
- Web access through Kagi Search
- A toggle controls whether the Assistant searches the web. Its searches can apply your Kagi Lenses and personalized results, and pasted URLs are fetched as context.
- Quick and Research modes
- Quick answers within seconds on every plan. Research, on Ultimate, plans multi-step work with up to about 15 tool calls, including a Python interpreter, image generation and Wolfram|Alpha.
- Custom assistants
- Save assistants that combine a chosen model, custom instructions and web access settings, and open built-in ones such as Code, Study and News with bangs from the search box.
- File uploads
- Upload text, PDF, DOCX, PPTX, spreadsheets, images and audio as context, up to 30 MB in total. Uploaded content stays in the thread for later messages.
- Thread retention and privacy
- Threads are deleted after 24 hours of inactivity unless set to permanent. Kagi says data is not used to train models and no account information is shared with model providers.
