Introducing DuckDuckGo Collaborations

We believe in a really simple idea: privacy is a right. 

That belief has been the guiding star for every product we make. And it's why we're introducing DuckDuckGo Collaborations. So users can rep their love of privacy out in the open. 

We've partnered with brands who give a duck about making things the right way, just like we do.

Do you use AI to analyze text-heavy documents or summarize slide decks? Now you can keep them private with Duck.ai. Attach PDFs and ask Duck.ai to pull out key points, find specific information, give writing advice, and more.

https://reddit.com/link/1sxd9a0/video/hrbnmrim6sxg1/player

Like everything on Duck.ai, this new feature is privacy-protected by DuckDuckGo. We anonymize your prompts, we have agreements in place with the model providers to limit data retention, and your files are never used for AI training.

Head to Duck.ai and choose Claude Haiku 4.5 or GPT-5 to scan short PDFs for free, no account necessary.  DuckDuckGo subscribers can analyze longer documents and access more powerful models: Claude Sonnet 4.5 (Plus), GPT-5.2 (Plus), and Claude Opus 4.6 (Pro).
