We have reached out to DuckDuckGo for clarification on this point as well.ĭuckDuckGo calls DuckAssist "the first in a series of generative AI-assisted features we hope to roll out in the coming months." If the launch goes well-and nobody breaks it with adversarial prompts-DuckDuckGo plans to roll out the feature to all search users "in the coming weeks."

But reading between the lines, it appears that only the Wikipedia article (or excerpt of one) gets sent to OpenAI for summarization, not the user's search itself. If DuckDuckGo is using OpenAI's GPT-3 or ChatGPT API, one might worry that the site could potentially send each user's query to OpenAI every time it gets invoked. "We also keep your search and browsing history anonymous to our search content partners," Weinberg writes, "in this case, OpenAI and Anthropic, used for summarizing the Wikipedia sentences we identify." Since DuckDuckGo's main selling point is privacy, the company says that DuckAssist is "anonymous" and emphasizes that it does not share search or browsing history with anyone. Because we’re using natural language technology from OpenAI and Anthropic to summarize what we find in Wikipedia, these answers should be more directly responsive to your actual question than traditional search results or other Instant Answers. In contrast, DuckDuckGo doesn’t, which means you don’t get the same experience or targeted ads and search results.DuckAssist answers questions by scanning a specific set of sources-for now that’s usually Wikipedia, and occasionally related sites like Britannica-using DuckDuckGo’s active indexing. Search engines keep track of your history and data to deliver a personalized search experience with targeted ads and search results. Instead, it automatically connects you to the website’s encrypted version, making it more difficult for anyone to see your activity. Websites will be aware you visited them, but won’t be able to locate you or see what keywords you used.ĭuckDuckGo will never track you, unlike other search engines, even when in incognito/private mode. Instead, when you click on a link, your request is redirected. When using search engines such as Google and Bing, your device will share information with a website that can identify you, including your IP address.ĭuckDuckGo, on the other hand, automatically stops this from happening on its search results. The main difference is the higher level of privacy protection. It can be tough deciding which search engine is the best for your needs when comparing DuckDuckGo with Google.
