DuckDuckGo is amping up its AI search tool but will still let you leave it behind
1 min read
Summary
Privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo has enhanced the capabilities of its AI-generated answers and integrated AI chatbot, which have both exited beta testing.
AI-generated answers now draw on information from across the web, rather than just relying on Wikipedia.
The integrated chatbot will soon incorporate web search functionality.
Both functions will continue to emphasise privacy when handling user data and are intended to provide concise and useful responses.
Plans are also in train to improve interactions with the chatbot, including adding voice interface support for iPhones and Android devices, and enabling users to upload images to accompany questions.
The chatbot is intended to remain a single, integrated platform, rather than migrating to a separate app.
