[LocalPlexity](https://localplexity.pages.dev/)
[LocalPlexity](https://localplexity.pages.dev/) is a lite version of [Perplexity](https://www.perplexity.ai/) aimed at 100% privacy and openness. Everything is done locally, in your browser, from searching the web to distilling a response for your question.
You can visit the website at [localplexity.pages.dev](https://localplexity.pages.dev/).
## Features
- Local search and response generation
- 100% privacy and openness
- Anonymous searches using a proxy
- Open source
- No ads / No tracking
## How It Works
LocalPlexity operates entirely within your browser to ensure complete privacy and openness. Here's a brief overview of how it works:
1. **Local Search and Response Generation**: When you enter a search query, LocalPlexity scrapes DuckDuckGo search results to find relevant information.
2. **Data Processing**: The websites are fetched, then `@mozilla/readability` extracts the essential content and `node-html-markdown` is converting HTML to Markdown.
3. **Response Generation**: The data is then passed to a small LLM to generate a response to your query.
All operations are performed locally in your browser, with no personal data being sent to external servers. All communication is anonymized using a proxy to ensure that your searches are not tracked.
