With DuckDuckGo you can use multiple AIs for free. Its system is out of beta

DuckDuckGo has officially taken its AI features out of beta, offering users access to multiple AI chatbots for free. The privacy-focused search engine now allows seamless interaction with leading AI models, ensuring users can experience the benefits of artificial intelligence without compromising their personal data.

One of the key upgrades is Duck.ai, which provides access to AI chatbots from OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Mistral. Initially launched as DuckDuckGo AI Chat in 2024, this feature now includes models like OpenAI’s GPT-4o mini and o3-mini, Anthropic’s Claude 3 Haiku, Meta’s Llama 3.3, and Mistral Small 3. These chatbots are integrated directly into the DuckDuckGo browser, making it easy for users to engage with AI-generated responses.

IA with privacy

A major concern among users is data privacy, and DuckDuckGo ensures that personal metadata is removed from AI interactions. Chats are stored only on the user’s device in the “Recent Chats” section, allowing seamless access without compromising privacy. The company has agreements with AI providers to delete chat data within 30 days and prevent its use for model training.

Another feature now out of beta is Assist, DuckDuckGo’s AI-powered answer tool, which was originally known as DuckAssist. Unlike its beta version, which primarily pulled information from Wikipedia, Assist now gathers answers from multiple sources across the internet. To enhance accuracy, DuckDuckGo has implemented safeguards to prevent unreliable sources like spam websites and opinion-based content from influencing AI responses.

While these features are free, there is a daily chat limit. However, DuckDuckGo is exploring a paid service to offer additional AI models and increased usage limits.
