August 21st, 2026 - A new Stocks widget and a better everyday Assistant experience # Kagi Search Bringing Stocks up to speed We've revamped our Stocks widget. It should appear more often when you need it. It can now display information about exchange-traded funds in addition to stocks. Most importantly, it now features a price chart, with animations between time windows that instantly contexturalize how big the price fluctuations you're seeing are compared to the wider story: As well, we've added a setting for removing paywalled links from search results automatically. Kagi Assistant Everyday use just got smoother Richer messages User messages now render links, Markdown, and LaTex. #6674 @oxlvlnle, #3283 @EvacuatedTerminal More powerful search Search across all your threads, sort by recency or alphabetically, and start with / to filter by folder. More control with calmer settings Now you can choose whether temporary threads stick around for 24h, 7 or 30 days. All within a calmer, easier-to-scan settings experience.

We're also planning to add this option to onboarding, so new users can personalise their Kagi experience from the start. It's finally here! We believe that Kagi's application of AI should always be useful - there when you'd like it, and never when you don't, and always respecting your privacy. This took us some time to navigate the right way to communicate this option. We did not want to create a confusing narrative as a company adding a toggle while continuing to invest in AI features elsewhere in our portfolio. But in the end, we want to stay true to putting you in control of your search engine - so here you are! We deeply thank the community
