TurboSeek is an open-source AI search engine web application inspired by Perplexity, built with Next.js and TypeScript. It searches the web, scrapes top results as context, and streams LLM-generated answers with follow-up question suggestions.
Use cases
- build an AI answer engine like Perplexity
- ask questions and get cited answers from web sources
- self-host an open source AI search engine
- learn how to build a RAG search app with a tutorial
- generate related follow-up questions for a query
When to choose
- you want a Perplexity-style search experience you control and self-host
- you want a reference implementation for combining web search, scraping, and LLM streaming
- you're learning to build AI search apps with Next.js and Together AI
When to avoid
- you need production-grade features like auth, caching, rate limiting, or citation numbering (still on the roadmap)
- you need a managed, hosted search API rather than a deployable app
- you require a license guarantee — the repo has no license file
