Same two. I was very impressed with the quality of Perplexity's answers and I love the citation format. When asking questions about Nostr, I found some excellent new blog posts I had never seen before. I like Kagi as well. The paid business model is a bold and good move imo. The founder seems to have an excellent vision and I love how they're building in the open: https://blog.kagi.com/blog

I haven't used many of them, but I feel like I've seen 5x more of them than expected. 

I used Perplexity a bit when it launched and then again recently. I like the hybrid answers/citations, but the answers either need to get bolder/more opinionated or they need to lean on sources more. 

Kagi seems like it came out of nowhere and is pretty popular with stackers: https://stacker.news/search?q=kagi

Do you have any favorites?

I love that we're beginning to see more experimentation in search again.
