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
