I’m looking for more cost-effective alternatives to Perplexity.ai that offer GPT-4 integration along with search capabilities for factual assistance, ideally around $5/month instead of the $20/month subscription fee for Perplexity.ai. I’ve come across Nuggt (https://github.com/Nuggt-dev/Nuggt), but it seems to rely solely on a local model without search functionality. I’ve also found Phind.com, a developer-focused search engine that uses GPT-4 to answer technical questions with code examples and detailed explanations. While it may not be as good as Perplexity.ai, it offers more free uses. Are there any other options that combine GPT-4 and search features at a lower price point?
It’s doable on your own, you can use embeddings for prefiltering (searching) what you want and then provide the top results as a context for GPT. Or if you have existing search, you can skip the embeddings and just feed GPT the top results.
