I saw a post earlier about a local alternative to Perplexity (an agentic LLM + search), but now I can’t find it. Does anyone know the best way to track down posts like this?

Also, is there any community where you can ask for help searching posts on the Fediverse, or is nostupidquestions fine for that?

I really wish posts were properly organized using tags. Finding stuff would be so much easier.

If you saw it in Lemmy, try using the search function with keyword perplexity?

I think I remember the article you mean; I think it was about local agentic search. No idea where that was though.

Nah, it didn’t say anything about perplexity it just felt like that to me. It uses Ollama and some of the LLM services from companies but I saw it on an image, and I don’t remember what the title was.

I think you’re looking for perplexica github.com/ItzCrazyKns/Perplexica

Doesn’t sound familiar. I think it had the word sense in it but I couldn’t find it using that word.

Cool, is it good?

In my experience it’s pretty buggy but I also didn’t put much work into getting it working

searching the fediverse is limited. Can’t say I have had much luck with it.

And with instances blocking each other it may be in an instance I can’t see from this one.

HubertManne@piefed.social on 16 Oct 23:10 collapse

Yeah I would prefer no instance blocking except by users directly.

Did you upvote (or downvote) it? Some clients like Voyager allow you to see what you voted on. You can find it in the profile tab.

Right now I can see the posts I have already interacted with, for a moment I thought it would be that.

OpenWebUI has search integration as well as a lot of other features. It’s commonly used used ollama and shipped in a lot of images.
