# Welcome to Kagi!

## What is Kagi Search?

**Kagi Search** is a premium search engine that puts you first. Unlike traditional search engines that monetize your attention through ads and data tracking, Kagi delivers clean, accurate results while maintaining complete privacy. We're built on a simple principle: you're our customer, not our product.

## Why Kagi is different

- **Privacy-first**: Your searches are never logged or tied to your account.
- **Ad-free experience**: No more cluttered results or sponsored content - just pure, relevant information.
- **Aligned incentives**: We succeed only when we provide value to you, not advertisers.

## Powerful features at your fingertips

### Search tools
- **Personalized Results**: Customize your search experience by blocking, lowering, raising, or pinning domains to match your preferences.
- **Lenses**: Access and create specialized search configurations for different contexts (like Programming, Academic, or News).
- **Bangs**: Quick shortcuts to search specific sites directly (e.g., !w for Wikipedia).
- **Snaps**: Instant answers that appear above search results for quick information.
- **Quick Answer**: Get instant, AI-powered summaries by adding a question mark to your search.

### AI-powered tools
- **Universal Summarizer**: Quickly digest any webpage, video, or podcast with our in-house AI models. Perfect for research and staying informed!
- **Kagi Translate**: Access powerful translation across 244 languages while maintaining complete privacy. Handles everything from short phrases to entire webpages.
- **The Assistant**: (Ultimate tier only) Leverage multiple premium AI models (including GPT-4, Claude, Gemini, Llama, and more) integrated with Kagi's powerful search capabilities for research, coding, and creative tasks.
