I payed and used 6 months for Phind. I am more satisfied with the Kagi Assistant currently. It does not give that many links but overall results are as good or even better, and you can use lenses. You get general search engine too.

There was one UI related annoyance with Phind; scroll bar sometimes jumped randomly, maybe even after each input or during token generation (on Firefox). You start wasting a lot of time if you always need to find again the part you were looking. Or even just scrolling back to bottom.

Primary issue is still that both hallucinate too much when you ask something difficult. But that is the general problem everywhere.


Thanks for the feedback. We've fixed the UI jumping issue. The new Phind update today should also work as a general search engine.
The icons cover up the input area on this crappy android work phone.

I stubornly continued to type my complaint about my json getting to large for phones with slow cpus or slow connections and got 100 solutions to explore. I couldnt help but think this is the worse case robot overlord, it gave me a year worth of materials to study complete with the urge to go do the work. That future we use to joke about is here!

Some of the suggestions are familiar but i dont have the time to read books about with little titbits of semi practical information smeard out over countless pages in the wrong order for my use case.

Im having flashbacks reading for days, digging though a humongous library only to end up with 5 lines of curl. I still cant tell if im a genius or just that dumb.

This long response unexpectedly makes me want to code all day long. One can chose where to go next which is much more exciting than the short linear answers... apparently.

Well done
