Tool Information
What is DuckDuckGo AI
DuckDuckGo AI is a privacy-first AI chat experience from DuckDuckGo, built to help you get answers, draft content, and reason through tasks without giving up personal data. The free chat at Duck.ai routes your prompts to leading models such as GPT-4o mini, Llama 3.3, and Claude 3 Haiku, while anonymizing every interaction. Conversations are not used to train the underlying models. Paired with DuckDuckGo’s privacy browser and extensions, it offers a seamless, secure way to explore AI and stay in control of your information.
