Show HN: Swirl – AI Based Open-Source Search Engine Alternative to Algolia

Swirl Is an Open-Source Search engine alternative to Algolia, and the likes. But Swirl queries anything with an API then uses Large Language Models to re-rank the unified results without copying any data! If the database has an API it can connect to and provide search functionality. You can use it to generate AI insights over a large and spread-out database.

Show HN: Swirl – An AI-Powered Open-Source Search Engine

Swirl is the Open-Source Platform for Enterprise Search with AI (LLMs and GPT). Swirl can connect to many data sources and provide search functionality. If your product has an API then it can be searched with Swirl. Like, SQL Databases, NoSQL, Slack, Google Bard, Open AI, Huggingface, Spacy, Teams, Outlook, Calendar, ApaceSolr, etc. All the search providers, and all the data siloes. It can then use Chat GPT or any other LLM to perform RAG(Retrieval Augmentated Generation) on your content.

Swirl is a metasearch engine; it adapts queries for each source, sends them out, asynchronously gathers the results, then uses AI (large language models) to re-rank everything. Swirl includes connectors to elastic, solr, opensearch, PostgreSQL, configurations for cloud services like Miro, Google BigQuery, Atlassian, Microsoft 365 etc. Apache 2.0 license. Looking for usage, feedback and contributions. Try it via Docker here: https://github.com/swirlai/swirl-search#try-swirl-now
