// readme · what it is
Perplexica pairs an LLM with a SearXNG meta-search backend to produce cited, conversational answers from the live web. The shape is exactly Perplexity's, but every component is yours: pick your LLM (Ollama, OpenAI, anything), pick your search index. No tracking, no per-query fees.
// deploy notes
Bundles SearXNG. The LLM lives elsewhere — point it at Ollama or an OpenAI-compatible endpoint.
