Better image search with AI-generated images detection

Last week we got quite clear and direct feedback that we need to do something about AI-generated images that started creeping up in the image search.

You asked for it and we delivered!

We are enhancing our image search with a new ranking algorithm and an AI image filter. These updates prioritise authentic, human-created images and downrank AI-generated content. Users can also opt to exclude AI-generated images entirely.

Learn more about Kagi’s AI image filter here: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/exclude-ai-images.html

We will continue actively improving this feature based on your feedback.

Celebrating Our Community

At Kagi, we’re all about community, and nothing has made us prouder than seeing the incredible photos our members are sharing online of their Kagi swag! Whether you’ve posted a picture of your free t-shirt or a sticker proudly displayed on your laptop, we want to take a moment to say thank you. Your support means the world to us.

The story:

We were thrilled to celebrate our first big milestone: reaching 20,000 loyal members who’ve stuck with us through this adventure. To show our appreciation, we’ve sent out free t-shirts and sticker packs to those first 20,000 supporters. Earlier this month, these members started receiving their packages and excitedly shared photos across various socials. Here’s a snapshot of just a few:

For anyone who missed out, don’t worry! You can head over to the Kagi Store and snag your first-edition Doggo t-shirt. We’ve got four fantastic designs, each one representing our determination to build a better, more ethical and more human web.

Help us reach our next milestone: 50,000 members

As we gear up to reach 50,000 members, we’d love your help in spreading the word!

We don’t rely on ads to drive our growth; instead, we depend entirely on word-of-mouth marketing and community recommendations. This grassroots approach means that every conversation you have about Kagi, every post you share showcasing your swag, and every mention you make to friends and family has a real impact. Your enthusiasm helps us reach new members who share our vision for a better web. Let’s make our next milestone one to remember.

Where to find and tag us on the social web:

We also have a Kagi Community Discord server where you can join our community for real-time discussion about the product and chat with other Kagi users.

As we move forward, we want to reiterate our commitment to continuously improving Kagi for all our members. Your feedback and engagement are invaluable as we strive to create an even better experience. Thank you for being a vital part of our journey - your support inspires us every day, and we can’t wait to see where this adventure takes us next!
