# Clarity AI
Clarity is simple [perplexity.ai](https://www.perplexity.ai/) clone. Use the code for whatever you like! :)
If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/mckaywrigley).
[](https://clarity-ai.vercel.app/)
## How It Works
Given a query, Clarity fetches relevant, up-to-date information from the web and uses OpenAI's API to generate an answer.
The app works as follows:
1. Get query from user
2. Scrape Google for relevant webpages
3. Parse webpages for text
4. Build prompt using query + webpage text
5. Call OpenAI API to generate answer
6. Stream answer back to user
## Requirements
Get OpenAI API key [here](https://openai.com/api/).
## Running Locally
1. Clone repo
```bash
git clone https://github.com/mckaywrigley/clarity-ai.git
```
2. Install dependencies
```bash
npm i
```
3. Run app
```bash
npm run dev
```
## Improvement Ideas
Here are some ideas for how to improve Clarity:
- [ ] Speed up answers by replacing link scraping with the Google Search API (scraping was used to circumvent cost + rate limits)
- [ ] Add "follow up" searches
- [ ] Improve the prompt
- [ ] Get sources working in non text-davinci-003 models
- [ ] Train your own model to use for answer synthesis
## Credits
Shoutout to [Perplexity AI](https://www.perplexity.ai/) for the inspiration. I highly recommend checking their product out.
This repo is meant to show people that you can build powerful apps like Perplexity even if you don't have a large, experienced team.
LLMs are amazing, and I hope Clarity inspires you to build something cool!
