Next chapter in the Kagi Assistant experience

With this release, we're introducing a new sidebar, designed to streamline your workflow and keep everything you need within reach. This is just the beginning - the new sidebar lays the foundation for even more powerful features to come.

We're also rolling out Claude 3.7 Sonnet with extended thinking to tackle even more complex challenges.

As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts - join the conversation on Discord or share your feedback through our forum at https://kagifeedback.org/

Kagi, lost in translation, in Tokyo!

From April 21 to 25, a dedicated team from Kagi including CEO, Vlad, will travel to Tokyo 🇯🇵 to meet with companies interested in our advanced translation solutions. If you are based in Japan and your company is interested, please get in touch with Gillian.

We'd also love to meet our local user community while we're there. If you're based in Tokyo, we'd love to organise a dinner and connect in person. Looking forward to great conversations and good food with fellow Kagi fans!

Please contact Gillian at gillian@kagi.com to arrange.
