HyperLex AI

Your Curious Companion for Smarter Web Exploration

🚀 Imagine having a research assistant who never sleeps – that's HyperLex AI. Born from my late-night coding sessions and countless cups of coffee, this project is my answer to information overload in the AI era. While it shares DNA with tools like Perplexity AI, I've injected it with some personal magic dust.

What's the Big Idea?

We've all been there – drowning in 15 open tabs, three conflicting articles, and no clear answers. HyperLex AI is my attempt to fix that mess. It's like if Wikipedia, ChatGPT, and your tech-savvy friend had a baby.

The Goodies You Get:

• Instant analysis of complex topics.
• Live tech news from Hacker News baked right in
• A chat interface that actually remembers what you talked about yesterday
• Sources cited like a proper research paper (take that, Wikipedia!)

Why Build Another AI Tool?

(Confession Time 😁)
I fell in love with Perplexity AI but kept thinking: "What if it could...?" So I rage-coded for three weekends straight. Here's my personal spin:

• Hacker News Integration
• Providing a lightweight, developer-friendly codebase for educational purposes.
• Focusing on performance optimization and scalability.

Disclaimer: This is my weekend project, not the next billion-dollar startup. Use it, break it, learn from it!
