Duck.ai is a free feature that allows you to have private conversations with 3rd-party AI chat models, anonymized by us. It currently supports Anthropic’s Claude 3 Haiku, Meta’s Llama 3.3 70B, Mistral AI’s Mixtral 8x7B, and OpenAI’s GPT-4o mini. Each model relies on unique algorithms and datasets and will respond to your prompts differently. You can use Duck.ai to get answers to questions, compose an email, summarize text, or just have an interesting conversation. Navigate there directly, or move from traditional search results to ask follow-up questions.

Return to past conversations with Duck.ai’s Recent Chats feature, which stores chats locally on your device – not on DuckDuckGo or other remote servers. Recent chats can be deleted individually or with a click of the Fire Button. You can add or remove the Duck.ai button in your DuckDuckGo browser from browser settings, and hide the Duck.ai buttons on the search results page from search settings.

DuckDuckGo’s approach to AI is to provide private, useful, and optional AI features that don’t track how you use them, store your prompts, or train on your data. More information about optional AI-assisted answers on our search engine can be found here.
