DuckDuckGo started with a search engine that doesn’t collect your search history; our flagship experience is now a browser with a suite of built-in protections that includes our search engine, ad and cookie blocking, and many more protections.
Our approach to AI in DuckDuckGo is to make it private, useful, and optional. We apply this strategy by integrating protected AI features that offer the productivity benefits of AI without privacy risks like tracking your prompts or training on your data. AI features you’ll find in our search engine and browsers include:
- Search Assist is an optional feature in our search results that anonymously generates answers to search queries. To do this, it scans the web for relevant content and then uses AI to generate a brief answer based on information found.
- Duck.ai provides free, anonymized access to popular 3rd-party AI chatbots, including models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and others. Your chats with Duck.ai are private, anonymized by us, and not used to train AI models.
