Great job, Kagi team, and congrats.

Very excited to hear that email is in the works. Any idea when Kagi Ultimate members will get a crack at that? (Are "Distinguished" users different from Ultimate ones?)

On that note, now that all users have access to Assistant, what is the benefit of being an Ultimate user?

Ultimate gets access to all the models.

Ah, thanks. Somehow I had misunderstood the recent announcements to mean that all users had use of all the models in Assistant.

More email competition is always welcome.

Please do proper folders and not Gmail tags. Tags make writing rules to categorize email impossible as all rules apply independently as AND. IE you can't order rules and say stop matching the remaining now. Makes it impossible to do meaningful filtering.

Fastmail is perfect. Would love to know how you think it could be improved. I'm happy to try a paid search alternative on an impulse (I use kagi and love it) but mail requires huge trust that will take a long while to earn. Especially for a startup that very well might "pivot" and drop the product.

Kagi Mail better beats Fastmail in some ways (could be pricing). I'm a very happy subscriber of both and I don't yet see the benefit of Kagi spending time and resources on mail when Fastmail is already far better than Gmail.

Kagi, IMO and a priori, should focus on Maps. I find Organic Maps (or Comaps) to be amazing but lacking crowd-sourced reviews and ratings, trafic data, a sync service (local folder for Syncthing and WebDAV would be enough IMO).

Kagi Maps falls short (no offline mode, relied on commercial mapbox…).

Also Search Assistant seems to fall behind vs the main players. The only reason I pay for it is because it offers better privacy (due to API terms) than direct subscription with ChatGPT, Anthropic & co. I miss all the integration offered by the giants (IDEs, new Firefox sidebar, Raycast/Spotlight…)

Keep up the great work! I can’t wait for their Orion browser to come to Linux. Would also love to see it properly open sourced
