Omniplex is an open-source, self-hosted alternative to Perplexity, an AI-powered answer engine that combines web search with LLMs to generate cited answers. It is a Next.js/TypeScript application with plugin support and multi-LLM (OpenAI, Anthropic) integration.

Use cases

  • self-host an AI search engine like Perplexity
  • get cited answers to questions using an LLM with web search
  • run a private AI answer engine with my own API keys
  • build an open-source AI search app with plugins
  • chat with an LLM that searches the web for sources

When to choose

  • you want a self-hosted, open-source Perplexity alternative you control
  • you want to customize the answer engine, add plugins, or swap LLM providers
  • you prefer AGPL open source over a closed SaaS search product

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready, stable search product - it is under active development
  • you don't want to supply your own Bing and OpenAI API keys
  • you need a polished plugin system - current plugin development is described as hacky
