Turbo Seek

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
  3. Create an account with Azure to get a Bing search API key
  4. Create an account at Helicone
  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

  • Try to parse the sources in a more effecient way to make the app faster overall: Try Serper API
  • Have the AI tool ignore video links like Youtube cause can't scrape them fast
  • 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
