I made a node.js-based “Deep Researcher” web app. It searches internet and creates structured academic-style cited reports based on user’s prompt. One can nudge the app to search exclusively through scholar sources with science-related keywords.
The app requires your own api key to run OpenAI’s LLMs and the web search tool. The LLM vendor can easily be changed but the web search tool is integral.
Edit: added web search tool.
OpenAi isn’t open source. 🤔
But my code to work with it is
Can the user supply their own base_url / api_base, to point to their own OpenAI-API compatible endpoint?
No, not without substantial code update. But it is a good idea to break a vendor lock.
How does it compare with GPT Researcher?
I need to study the repo, but the first thing I can say is that mine is in JS.
Edit: in addition, GPT researcher uses tavily for web search and mine uses web_search tool but OpenAI
