Self-Hosted Perplexity
~1 weekAn AI search engine you own — searches the web, reads the results, and gives you a sourced answer.
Build an AI-powered search: user asks a question → search the web (SearXNG or Brave API) → fetch top 5 results → read and extract key info → synthesize an answer with inline citations. Deploy with Docker. Use any LLM (local via Ollama or API). The key differentiator vs Perplexity: self-hosted, private, no usage limits.
