Just curious looking at this, can any decent programmer build at least an extremely simple version of this? Considering whether it would be cool as a summer project.

Creating a simple generative search engine is straightforward and can be accomplished over a weekend.

Essential components include: - A search engine API (such as Bing or Google's) - Integration of search engine results with a Large Language Model (LLM)

This framework, known as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), was the foundation for the initial version of Perplexity.

The challenging aspect lies in refining the generation outcomes, which involves more proprietary techniques.
