Duck.ai

Editor Review

For a question you do not want tied to a search identity, open Duck.ai directly or follow up from search results, then switch models for the task. Recent chats stay on the device and can be deleted at once with the Fire Button. A few pinned chats stay at the top so that wipe does not take them. Anonymous sending strips personal metadata such as a network address before the model provider sees the request, and the providers agree to delete the exchange after the reply and not train on it. Email and summaries are worth trying on more than one model, because each answers differently. Photos and documents can be added. More advanced models are only on a subscription. It fits people who do not want chats used for training and who mainly need answers and email edits.

What is Duck.ai

Duck.ai is DuckDuckGo's private chat for asking third-party chat models questions, drafting email, summarizing text, or following up from ordinary search results. Several models are available without a subscription, and subscribers can use additional advanced models. Chats are not used for training by DuckDuckGo or the model providers by default, and personal metadata such as a network address is removed before a request is sent. Recent chats stay on the device, can be wiped with the Fire Button, and a few can be pinned so that wipe does not remove them. The page also accepts photos or documents.

Duck.ai Key Features

Anonymous questions and rewrites

It can answer questions, draft email, summarize text, or follow up from search, and personal metadata is removed before the request is sent.

Recent chats on the device

Recent chats stay on the device by default rather than on a remote server, and can be deleted one by one or all at once with the Fire Button.

Pin a few chats

A few chats can be pinned to the top of the recent list so the Fire Button does not delete them.

Photos and documents

The page can take a photo or a document and then ask the selected third-party model about it.

Start with ordinary search, then move into Duck.ai to ask about a detail without restating the background.

Ask about a document

Drop a document into the chat, ask for a summary, and keep the recent record on the device.

Frequently Asked Questions

▶Are chats used for training?

The help page says that, by default, neither DuckDuckGo nor the model providers train on these chats. Requests are anonymized first, and personal metadata such as a network address is removed. Providers also agree to delete the exchange after the reply and not train on it. A chat is stored and reviewed only if you choose to send that conversation as feedback.

▶Where do recent chats live, and how do I delete them?

Recent chats stay on the device by default, not on DuckDuckGo's remote servers. Delete one chat, or use the Fire Button to clear them. Pin the few you still need so that wipe leaves the pinned chats in place. Recent chats can also be turned off in settings.
