DuckDuckGo AI chat offers privacy, no user data used to train models, and a bare-bones text-only experience

The chat boasts many standard features, such as answering questions when searching on DuckDuckGo, and an interactive chat window. It offers a bare-bones, text-only experience with no multimedia support. The AI chat also includes a “burn” mode, allowing users to erase conversations at any time quickly.

Unlike Meta’s AI, OpenAI’s ChatGPT, or Google’s Gemini, the DuckDuckGo AI chat offers users access to a multitude of large language models, including both closed-source and open-source options. Currently, users can engage with ChatGPT 3.5, ChatGPT 4.0-mini, Llama 3, Claude, and Mixtral.

Obviously being more private means no “memory” or history of chats. It also has no image generation, and the choices of different models may confuse some users. But for the privacy conscious, DDG Chat is a big plus.

You can access it’s Chat from any browser by just doing a DDG search, so no need to specifically install the DDG browser etc.
