Duck.ai, from DuckDuckGo, is a free, private AI chat. Uses models like GPT-4o mini, Llama 3.3, and Claude 3 Haiku. Chats are anonymized and not used for training.
DuckDuckGo brings Duck.ai, a free and private AI chatbot! It's now out of beta and offers a really interesting alternative to other AI chat services.
What makes it different:
🛡️ Privacy-Focused: Chats are anonymized and not used for training the AI models. DuckDuckGo proxies the requests, so your IP address isn't shared. 🤖 Multiple Models: You can choose from a selection of models, including GPT-4o mini, o3-mini, Llama 3.3, Mistral Small 3, and Claude 3 Haiku. The list is growing! 💾 Local Chat History: Recent chats are stored locally on your device, not on DuckDuckGo's servers. 🆓 It's free to use, with a daily limit on queries. ✅ And no account required. No need to log in.
DuckDuckGo is clearly positioning this as the privacy-respecting alternative to other AI chatbots. They're leveraging their existing reputation for privacy to offer a unique value proposition.
When it comes to AI chat and privacy, you know DuckDuckGo is going to take it seriously. Privacy is literally what they're built on.
I think I will really like this app, after trying it, it offers a lot of good things than the apps I have tried before
Congratulations on the launch of Duck.ai! It's exciting to see a focus on privacy in AI chat solutions. How do you ensure that the anonymization process maintains user trust while delivering quality interactions?
One of my concerns with using AI was privacy. So excited that DuckDuckGo is releasing a possible solution for that concern 🤩
Love the options for selecting different models. When the standalone app for smartphones expected?
Huge fan of everything you build, and this is no exception! Love the focus on privacy—Duck.ai is a solid release. One thought: while 'no AI training on your conversations' is great for privacy, it’d be cool to have an opt-in option for those who want to contribute to improving your version of the models. Some of us would love to help!
Happy enough to start to check the efficiency and prompt results in different models, it is working fine with varied results of same prompts.
Congratulations on the launch of Duck.ai! Love seeing DuckDuckGo bringing their privacy-first approach to AI chatbots. The multi-model selection and local storage for chat history is a brilliant touch that privacy-conscious users will appreciate. Free access without login requirements? That's exactly the kind of frictionless experience we need more of in this space. Looking forward to watching Duck.ai take flight!
Very nice move from the duckduckgo team. I'm glad you're able to provide access to this and Llama too. I think the 70b model would take lots of compute so its nice we get a private option if we can't run it fast at home. Im just thinking how I could add this to my workflows when necessary :) Thank you!
Using duckduckgo since 2020 and also read a book featuring it. Can't remember the name now. Excited to your launch here
Congrats on the launch! Love how you're keeping privacy front and center while bringing AI chat to the next level!
been using duckduckgo for YEARS and this feels like natural next step! love how you're keeping privacy first while jumping into AI chat game. finally an alternative that doesn't make me feel like being spied by those big ai "startups" lol. congrats team - this longtime duckduckgo fan will be testing this daily! 🦆 🦆🔥
How they are storing chats in locally? They have to sent the messages to LLM servers. Am I missing anything?
I love how Duck.ai feels like chatting with a smart friend who actually respects my privacy! The different AI models give plenty of options, and knowing my conversations aren't being stored for training gives me peace of mind. Such a breath of fresh air in today's data-hungry tech world!
Love this - as soon as it supports file uploads for processing and re-production, I'll switch permanently.
