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:

The stock widget showing animated transitions between 3 month, 1 year, 5 year, and 1 day price charts

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.
