What is Kagi Search?
Kagi is unbundling itself: search as an API, Assistant as an app, AI as a switch.
The dated part of this feed stops in April on housekeeping releases — reliability work, refinements, a Small Web expansion. Everything since sits in undated rows and is more substantial: the Search API went to public preview in May carrying each account's own lenses and blocklists, June started rebuilding search widgets, July added a global off-switch for AI in search, and July 30 put Kagi Assistant on iOS and Android as a standalone app.
What is Teable?
Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.
Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.

Kagi Search

Kagi is unbundling itself: search as an API, Assistant as an app, AI as a switch.
◆ Current state
The dated part of this feed stops in April on housekeeping releases — reliability work, refinements, a Small Web expansion. Everything since sits in undated rows and is more substantial: the Search API went to public preview in May carrying each account's own lenses and blocklists, June started rebuilding search widgets, July added a global off-switch for AI in search, and July 30 put Kagi Assistant on iOS and Android as a standalone app.
◆ Where it's heading
Kagi is separating what used to be one subscription into distinct products with distinct surfaces: a search index other people can query, an assistant that lives on a phone, and a search page where the AI layer is optional. The through-line is user control — preferences that follow the API key, widgets that can be switched off individually, threads that can be exported or deleted in bulk — which is the one thing an ad-funded competitor cannot match on. Growth now depends on those surfaces rather than on convincing people to change their default search engine.
◆ Prediction
The Search API is the piece with launch details still outstanding, so expect it to leave preview with firm pricing and the beta users migrated; the mobile Assistant is described as a first step, which points to the missing platform features arriving next.
Teable
6.3COLLAB
Teable ships daily, and the work has moved from grid features to platform governance.
◆ Current state
Teable releases several times a week under timestamped version tags. This window covers admin-governed shared Skills, scoped personal access token enforcement, an instance-wide control over whether platform AI keys reach Apps, BYODB health reporting, and a sustained run of performance work on lookups, computed-field cascades, and large-table operations.
◆ Where it's heading
Two threads dominate. The first is agent infrastructure being pulled under administrative control: Skills published, upgraded, rolled back, and access-managed centrally rather than installed per user, alongside a switch governing AI credentials for Apps. The second is durability at scale, with write bursts, high fan-out cascades, and tens-of-thousands-record selections all getting attention. Together they describe a product hardening for self-hosted and larger deployments where AI features need an audit trail and an off switch.
◆ Prediction
Expect the Skills governance surface to extend toward usage reporting or per-Skill permissioning, and continued work on computed-field cascades, which appear in nearly every release in this window.
