We wanted DuckAssist to be the first because we think it can immediately help users find answers to what they are looking for faster. This is the first in a series of generative AI-assisted features we hope to roll out in the coming months. It’s completely free and private itself, with no sign-up required, and it’s available right now. If you enter a question that can be answered by Wikipedia into our search box, DuckAssist may appear and use AI natural language technology to anonymously generate a brief, sourced summary of what it finds in Wikipedia - right above our regular private search results. Today, we’re giving all users of DuckDuckGo’s browsing apps and browser extensions the first public look at DuckAssist, a new beta Instant Answer in our search results. But no matter how we decide to use this new technology, we want it to add clear value to our private search and browsing experience.

At DuckDuckGo, we’ve been trying to understand the difference between what it could do well in the future and what it can do well right now. Generative artificial intelligence is hitting the world of search and browsing in a big way. It's free (with no sign-up required!) and available to try today in DuckDuckGo browsers and extensions.‌‌
