介绍我在用的付费搜索产品Kagi
经过使用之后，我成了付费搜索引擎的长期用户
Kagi是个付费使用的搜索引擎，其核心理念是用户需要支付费用以使用互联网搜索功能。其价格分为每月5美元、10美元和25美元三档。在最开始体验了25美元档一个月之后，我选择了10美元档。
对于免费用户，该产品提供50次搜索的体验机会。5美元档每月可以搜索300次，10美元和25美元档则不限制搜索次数，其区别在于可以使用的AI大语言模型的不同。对于我日常使用来说，并不总是需要使用最新的模型，因此10美元的方案对我来说已经够用。
除了搜索之外，它也提供一些附加功能，这些附加功能也都挺实用。除了上述来自各家AI公司所提供的大语言模型（基本包含了市面上所有的模型，比如ChatGPT、Claude、Mistral等等），还提供了一些非常便捷轻量的服务，这些服务刚好能够在很大程度上利用当今大语言模型的优势。
如同我之前所说，大语言模型在翻译和校对方面做得非常出色，而Kagi则开发了翻译和校对的功能。它的翻译由于利用了大语言模型，相比各种搜索引擎和在线翻译软件所提供的服务更为准确。不仅仅是准确，在相当程度上已经接近完美。
校对则可以理解为不涉及语言转换的翻译，它做得也非常好。这使得我现在写文章不用再检查字句，而是最终把文本丢给它去校对即可。
我也将它这两个功能用于本文，你现在看到的文章是校对后的结果。而它对于本文的翻译全文我则放于文末。
我刚好每天会处理一些文字工作，因而这两个功能对我来说非常实用。无论哪一档的付费用户，都可以无限制地使用这两个功能。
不知道中文领域付费使用这个产品的人多不多，如果你也是它的用户，欢迎后台留言与我交流。
Introducing Kagi, the Paid Search Product I Use
Kagi is a paid search engine, built on the core idea that users pay to access internet search functionalities. It offers three pricing tiers: $5, $10, and $25 per month. After initially trying the $25 tier for a month, I opted for the $10 plan.
For free users, the product offers a trial of 50 searches. The $5 tier allows 300 searches per month, while the $10 and $25 tiers offer unlimited searches. The main difference between these two higher tiers lies in the variety of large AI language models available. For my daily use, I don’t always need the latest models, so the $10 plan is sufficient for me.
Beyond search, Kagi also provides several useful additional features. In addition to the large language models from various AI companies mentioned earlier (which essentially cover all models on the market, such as ChatGPT, Claude, Mistral, etc.), it offers some very convenient and lightweight services. These services are perfectly designed to leverage the strengths of today’s large language models.
As I’ve mentioned before, large language models excel at translation and proofreading, and Kagi has developed features for both. Its translation, powered by large language models, is significantly more accurate than services offered by various search engines and online translation software. It’s not just accurate; it’s remarkably close to perfect.
Proofreading, which can be understood as translation without language conversion, is also exceptionally well done. This means I no longer need to meticulously check my writing; I can simply hand the final text over to Kagi for proofreading.
I’ve used both of these features for this very article; what you’re reading now is the proofread result. The full translation of this article, also done by Kagi, will be placed at the end.
Since I handle a fair amount of text-based work daily, these two features are incredibly practical for me. Regardless of the paid tier, all subscribers have unlimited access to both.
I’m not sure how many people in the Chinese-speaking community pay for this product. If you’re also a user, feel free to leave a comment and connect with me.
