Vane (formerly Perplexica) is a self-hosted AI answering engine in the style of Perplexity. It searches the web through SearXNG, reads the results and answers with cited sources, using a local LLM through Ollama or a cloud provider such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini or Groq. It also offers speed, balanced and quality modes, academic and discussion search, image and video search, file uploads and a search history. This script builds Vane from source and runs a private SearXNG instance with JSON output next to it.
