If you don't want to use AI, we've got you covered, too. Bookmark noai.duckduckgo.com to search with no AI summaries, no Duck.ai buttons or prompts, and our AI image filter automatically applied to search results.
If you want to use AI, Duck.ai lets you do it privately: now with photo editing. Like our text and voice chats, the images you upload are anonymized by us and never used to train the AI.

Like all of our AI features, voice chat is totally optional. Even after you opt in, you can change your mind any time. Head to your Duck.ai settings to toggle the feature on and off.
If you use AI, we have big news: AI voice chat, privacy-protected by us. Opt in at Duck.ai and just start talking; the AI will listen and respond in real time. Your voice is not recorded, stored, or used for training. So chat away! We’re not listening.

Ep.15: AI should be private, useful and optional. We discuss our "Yes AI / No AI" vote and the massive response it generated.

If you voted in our Yes AI or No AI poll, you helped show that choice matters. AI should be optional, not forced.
We offer two different experiences of DuckDuckGo—one with AI and one without AI—so you can use the Internet your way.
175,354 votes.
We asked a simple question: Yes AI or No AI?
Turns out a lot of people wanted to weigh in.
With DuckDuckGo, if you don’t want AI, you can turn it off in our private search engine and browser. If you do, you can chat privately with popular chatbots using Duck AI.
Vote update 👀
