* Kagi Search: Like Neeva, it requires an account and limits use without payment. It's powered by its own Teclis index (Teclis can be used independently; see the non-commercial section below), and claims to also use results from Google and Brave. The result seems somewhat unique: I'm able to recognize some results from the Teclis index mixed in with the mainstream ones. In addition to Teclis, Kagi's other products include the Kagi.ai intelligent answer service and the TinyGem social bookmarking service, both of which play a role in Kagi.com in the present or future. Unrelatedly: I'm concerned about the company's biases, as it seems happy to use Brave's commercial API (allowing blatant homophobia in the comments) and allow its results to recommend suicide methods without intervention. I reject the idea that avoiding an option that may seem politically biased is the same as being unbiased if such a decision has real political implications. * Kagi Search: Like Neeva, it requires an account and limits use without payment.
