Fireplexity is an open-source, Perplexity-style AI search engine built with TypeScript that delivers answers with real-time citations, streaming responses, and live web, news, and image data. It is powered by Firecrawl for web scraping and Groq for fast LLM inference, and can be self-hosted or deployed to Vercel.
Use cases
- self-host an AI search engine like Perplexity
- build a search engine with real-time citations
- AI search with streaming answers and live web data
- deploy an open-source answer engine to Vercel
- search the web, news, and images with an LLM
- customize a Perplexity alternative with my own API keys
When to choose
- you want a self-hosted Perplexity alternative you can customize
- you need cited, real-time AI search answers with streaming responses
- you already use Firecrawl and/or Groq and want a ready-made frontend
- you want a Next.js/TypeScript codebase to extend into your own product
When to avoid
- you need a production search engine without external API dependencies (it requires Firecrawl and Groq keys)
- you want a fully local/offline search stack with no third-party services
- you need a general-purpose web crawler or scraper rather than a search UI
- you require a project with an explicit license file or long-term vendor support
