Aginsi vs Kagi Summarize

Aginsi is an AI research co-pilot that turns reading material into summaries with key passages highlighted. It accepts articles, academic papers, PDFs, long threads, reports, and video transcripts; summaries keep their references and show the amount of compression and estimated reading time saved. The free Margin plan costs nothing and includes 10 monthly summaries for articles and PDFs. Scholar costs $9 a month and adds unlimited summaries, a library with tags and search, Markdown and PDF export, and a browser companion. Faculty costs $29 a month and adds team seats, shared shelves, batch and API access, and priority support. The product is available through web, extension, and API. Aginsi says it discards submitted source documents and retains only summaries users choose to save. Source text is processed transiently and not used to train models. Users can request access to, correction of, export of, or deletion of account data and saved summaries by contacting [email protected]. The company describes itself as a small studio in Helsinki.

Kagi Summarize creates summaries of web pages, videos and podcasts when a transcript is available. It accepts URLs for web pages, PDFs, PPTX files, MP3s and videos. Output choices include headlines, brief summaries, digests, medium or long summaries, bullet points and ELI5; users can also translate a summary with Kagi Translate. Kagi lists Cecil as consumer-grade, Agnes as consumer-grade and Muriel as enterprise-grade; Agnes and Muriel are available through the browser extension or API. Summarize is accessible in Kagi search results, through the!sum Bang, in Orion on Apple devices, and in Chrome and Firefox extensions. The API supports text pages, PDFs, PPTX and DOCX files, MP3/WAV audio, experimental YouTube URLs, and scanned PDFs or images using OCR. API requests are limited to 1 MB and require a Kagi account and API credits. A trial includes 100 searches and 100 AI interactions with standard models. Starter costs $5 per month plus tax; there is no free plan.
