AI Answer Engine

Description

AI Answer Engine with Next.js and TypeScript that can scrape content from websites and mitigates hallucinations by citing its sources when providing answers. This project is inspired by Perplexity.ai, a company currently valued at over $9 Billion.

Future iterations

• Build a comprehensive solution to extract content from any kind of URL or data source, such as YouTube videos, PDFs, CSV files, and images
• Generate visualizations from the data such as bar charts, line charts, histograms, etc.
• Implement a hierarchical web crawler that starts at a given URL and identifies all relevant links on the page (e.g., hyperlinks, embedded media links) and scrapes the content from those links as well
