Turbo Seek

TurboSeek



An open source AI search engine. Powered by Together.ai.

## Tech stack

- Next.js app router with Tailwind
- Together AI for LLM inference
- Mixtral 8x7B & Llama-3 for the LLMs
- Bing for the search API
- Helicone for observability
- Plausible for website analytics

## How it works

1. Take in a user's question
2. Make a request to the bing search API to look up the top 6 results and show them
3. Scrape text from the 6 links bing sent back and store it as context
4. Make a request to Mixtral-8x7B with the user's question + context & stream it back to the user
5. Make another request to Llama-3-8B to come up with 3 related questions the user can follow up with

## Cloning & running

1. Fork or clone the repo
2. Create an account at [Together AI](https://dub.sh/together-ai) for the LLM
3. Create an account at [SERP API](https://serper.dev/) or with Azure ([Bing Search API](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/bing/apis/bing-web-search-api))
4. Create an account at [Helicone](https://www.helicone.ai/) for observability
5. Create a `.env` (use the `.example.env` for reference) and replace the API keys
6. Run `npm install` and `npm run dev` to install dependencies and run locally

## Future tasks

- [ ] Move back to the Together SDK + simpler streaming
- [ ] Add a tokenizer to smartly count number of tokens for each source and ensure we're not going over
- [ ] Add a regenerate option for a user to re-generate
- [ ] Make sure the answer correctly cites all the sources in the text & number the citations in the UI
- [ ] Add sharability to allow folks to share answers
- [ ] Automatically scroll when an answer is happening, especially for mobile
- [ ] Fix hard refresh in the header and footer by migrating answers to a new page
- [ ] Add upstash redis for caching results & rate limiting users
- [ ] Add in more advanced RAG techniques like keyword search & question rephrasing
- [ ] Add authentication with Clerk if it gets popular along with postgres/prisma to save user sessions
