Show HN: Xplained – AI-Driven Instant Explainer (Perplexity inspired) (xplained.vercel.app)

1 points by shouche 2y ago ↗ HN

Hello HN community,

I would like to introduce Xplained, an AI tool designed for quickly understanding topics using simpler explanations.

It harnesses web search results to provide quick insights, aiming to enhance understanding in a short content format with images (like Perplexity). It's ideal for quickly grasping the basics of a concept or getting a quick intro on new topics.

I believe it can be a helpful resource for anyone looking for concise, easy-to-understand information.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Looking forward to your input!

Thanks!

I clicked "Fast Fashion" (default suggestion) and waited about a minute for the results to load, but this is all that came out: https://imgur.com/a/5W4UOPa

Maybe cache some queries so you don't have to re-search them every time?

Hi. Thanks for the feedback.

Its just a quick POC made in a day. I am still working on integrating a backend and optimizing the queries. Also, it currently uses free APIs with small usage limits. Plan to upgrade soon.

Updated and significantly improved the app.
