| ▲ | freehorse 20 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | LLMs are not magic, nor are they gonna crawl some dozens of websites, they work with search results they are provided with, and thus they need good search results to work with. Maybe in the US or sth it is better, but where I live finding good shopping results from local shops/websites is not straightforward. Google shopping, that I just now checked, seems much better with querries that I struggled with kagi. Typically, in order to find things I need I usually run searches on local price aggregators than kagi, though it is not perfect because they do not include shops that don't want to pay them, and their search features are not great either. But running kagi for local search shopping results ime is not great, and similarly the assistant do not provide great results either. I do not want a click-to-buy button, I want kind of lens that is specialised for shopping within specific regions (the current kagi lenses allow only 10 sites which is not really enough for shopping). | |

I just run a query with some variation of "Compile a list of online stores with shipping+price, sorted by the average user review score of the entire site, sub-sorted by price where I can buy $foobar?" sometimes I have to give it another push to tell it options or where to look, but this works pretty well for comparison shopping. |

| ▲ | preg_match 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Keyword trustworthy, I think Kagi is one of the only companies that would be in a position to do this without pushback. But, regular models and harnesses work okay for this too. You just have to specify “web search”, very important. | | |
| ▲ | paweladamczuk 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | Care to share your setup? I use pi and librechat and I am really limited by the lack of proper web connector. Testing Tavily right now, Kagi is next. I wonder why I see so few comments about it on HN, does everybody have this figured out already? Am I a dummy? Am I severely overstating how important of a frature web access and search is for LLM use? |
