## Description

Perplexica is an AI-powered search engine that synthesizes real-time web results into coherent, cited summaries. By utilizing large language models and retrieval augmentation, the platform gathers information from the live internet to provide accurate answers to complex user queries, ensuring that all generated content includes verifiable source citations.

The project functions as a search orchestration platform that aggregates data from multiple sources and exposes these capabilities through standard endpoints. This allows for automated data integration, enabling external software to retrieve AI-generated insights and summaries for custom workflows. The system is designed for portability, utilizing container-based orchestration to ensure consistent execution across diverse hosting environments.

Beyond its core search functionality, the platform supports automated infrastructure provisioning and network configuration to facilitate deployment. It includes features for exposing local service instances to external networks, which supports collaborative testing and remote access to private application instances.
