Phind
Phind is a mix of a search engine and a chat bot with AI touch. It can generate answers with sources - links of websites it took particular information from.
It can work in two ways: with search results or without them and it's up to the user to decide.
Really cool thing about it is that you do not need to register to use free features.
It is designed especially for developers, so it will try to add some programming stuff in answers, but not each time obviously.
Phind also has a Visual Code plugin with about 50.000 installs and 4.3 out of 5 star rating at this moment. You can download it here.
