DuckAssist isn’t a chatbot like ChatGPT and Bing Chat. Consider it an alternative to traditional searching. It uses online resources to quickly respond to your question (along with citations) so you don’t have to search the web for the information yourself.

DuckDuckGo’s press release
“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,”.
Currently, Wikipedia and “occasionally related sites like Britannica” are all that DuckAssist supports, but that’s expected to change in the future. The AI tool uses natural language technologies from Anthropic and OpenAI, the creators of ChatGPT, to summarize.

DuckDuckGo says that answers from this AI tool should be “more directly responsive to your actual question than traditional search results.” However, the search engine company recommends users ask questions like “what is a search engine index?” rather than more subjective questions like “what is the best search engine?”.

When there are multiple things connected with a given keyword, AI-boosted search engines sometimes “hallucinate” answers and mix up facts. DuckDuckGo claims that by focusing on Wikipedia rather than data from across the entire web, it has significantly decreased these.
In order to access the DuckAssist beta feature there is no need to register which is absolutely free. DuckDuckGo plans to shortly roll out more AI-enhanced search and browsing features.
The latest search engine to include generative AI into its search results is DuckDuckGo. This news follows the addition of comparable features to Brave’s own search engine.
