Simplicity AI

Simplicity is simple perplexity.ai clone.

How It Works

Given a query, Simplicity 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

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
