## What it is
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
