Perplexica

An open-source, self-hostable AI search engine — a private Perplexity alternative you run yourself, with cited sources and your own models.

View on GitHub ↗ ★ 36,944 stars · TypeScript

Clone it without leaving:

git clone https://github.com/ItzCrazyKns/Perplexica.git

A genuinely useful open-source take on AI search: run it on your own hardware, point it at local or hosted models, and get Perplexity-style answers with real sources — no subscription. Often self-hosted as Perplexica or its Vane build, it’s the same sourced-answer idea behind the kind of news we want on Skillra.
