Hey Charlie, awesome breakdown! Building an AI search engine sounds like a massive job, and your step-by-step rundown is super clear. Love how you’re using Claude to generate related queries and then grabbing content and adding citations—that totally boosts trust, which is so important for any search tool.

The idea of using LLMs to make smarter searches is really cool, and streaming responses? Way better than waiting forever for an answer.

Just wondering—what’s been the toughest part about getting the LLM to give short but complete responses? And have you hit any unexpected roadblocks while working with the Brave API or tweaking Claude's prompts?

This is really cool! Neat to see the end result video.

Somewhat coincidentally, my upcoming post (tomorrow) also involves using Claude and creating useful apps.

Except, unlike you, I don't know how to code at all. So it's Claude that will be doing the coding. I'm asking Claude for much more simple apps that can run directly inside the Artifacts window using React components it has access to. Still a fun experiment.
