Show HN: Cha now supports Answer-Search (Inspired by Perplexity) [video] (youtube.com)

Hi everyone,

I'm back with another Cha update. Cha is a simple CLI chat tool that easily interfaces with OpenAI's models. It supports chat interfacing with models, image generation, web scraping, and Answer-Search now! Answer-Search was inspired by Perplexity's work. Given a question, it generates simple sub-search queries which it runs through the Brave Search API. From there, it scrapes all the results and summarizes the content it scraped. After doing all of this, it feeds the context into a large model, in this case GPT-4, to answer your question and cite its sources. All in all, this was a fun project, and I hope you all enjoy it. I use Cha every day; it's very useful, and I hope it's useful to you all as well.

Also, there probably won't be another update on Cha. I've decided to focus on other projects, because Cha has all the essential features it needs for the foreseeable future. Of course, if there's demand, I'll happily add new features. But for now, I will just maintain Cha. Thank you all for reading and I hope you all have a great day.
