Private, anonymous access to top AI chatbots — no account required
About DuckDuckGo AI Chat
DuckDuckGo AI Chat (Duck.ai) is a privacy-focused AI chat platform that lets you converse with leading language models like GPT-4o mini, Claude 3.5 Haiku, Llama 4 Scout, and Mistral Small without creating an account or exposing your identity. DuckDuckGo strips your IP address, proxies all requests through its own servers, and ensures that no prompts are used for AI model training. With free and subscription tiers, voice chat, image generation, and local-only chat history, it offers a uniquely private gateway to multiple AI models.
