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/
