Better Searches With Local AI

In the ideal world, you would have the accuracy of a web search and the ease of an AI. Perplexica gives you that along with all the privacy and security benefits of Ollama. Check it out.

Hi Matt! thanks for checking it out. I'm working on major features like chat history, discovery, and new search types, and will roll them out eventually. It is still very early for Perplexica, but we're slowly reaching there. The searches are slower because Perplexity directly returns the result to the model instead of performing a similarity search. We do the opposite; after the search is complete, the results are refined and then returned to the model, this ensures that the context is very precise and the answers are some time better than Perplexity. We're working on adding some search types that allow you to disable this option.

I simply love your reviews. Clearly highlighting pros & cons. This is how it should be done.

Page Assist, an extension for chrome or firefox Ive been using awhile, does searches and can summarize the page. I forgot to add it uses local ollama models :)

To be honest, if the application only offered a light mode, I would be less inclined to use it. I tend to use everything in dark mode. It’s not because I’m trying to reflect a certain persona or mood, but rather, I find that dark mode is easier on the eyes. This preference becomes particularly noticeable when I’m using the computer for extended periods, up to 18 hours at a time. The reduced strain on my eyes makes the experience much more comfortable.

Holy smokes this is cool. Great stuff as always Matt!

Hi Matt. I just stumbled upon your channel. I am really impressed! Thanks for providing actual knowledge instead of using clickbaity video titels without any real value. Keep it going. I hope your channel will be most successful. Quality over quantity.

Hi. Nice content. I like the pace of your videos. Everything is peaceful and interesting without loud music or dramatic sound effects. Please review fabric ai coupled with agents which are included with it.

Appreciate your shares and balanced reviews.

Another awesome video! Can't wait to try this out.

What a great thing. Temporary embeddings for web research. ChromaDB + python + selenium. Should do it. Thx for inspiring me!

[dotcomphoto]

Really nice! Is there a way to use it as api as well? Or just using the UI?

[ihaveacutenose]

You da man! That's exactly what I wanted to know!

What do I think? There are so many cool projects. But so little projects that make significant effort to combine all the cool projects. Some kind of standard that makes it easy to combine tools, use them as agents or whatever, that would be great. That's what I think.

The profile shots are a bit weird. Not sure you should add them.

self hosted AI search engine ? didn't know about it. Very interesting, will definitely try

[nlurmcp]

Thanks. So what should we use for searching our documents.

I think it is great, or in fact great potential. Would love to have a more stable retrieval from the web (see comment to the author down below), but in general most programs that work with ollama seems to be very good, so it is hard to settle to one solution (a good thing, in this case)

Hi Matt, I wanted to ask if you could create a python script that will allow ollama +open webui to be able to search the Internet. I want to know if this idea will work? I'm new and learning this😊😊😊😊

All of the dockers are running, but when I go to port 3000 I just have a loading screen that's been going for like 20 minutes. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? also Im running it through wsl.
