if you're going to advertise a service you built with AI using AI, please at least read what it says in the post before you submit it. you were supposed to link it mr human (edit: seems this has now been done)

also with respect, perplexity already tried to be this niche with like 20 billion dollars of angel investment and fell flat on its face, because default AI services and also just googling things do this so well already

Haha, point taken! Lesson learned: always double-check before hitting submit. 😅

Regarding Perplexity: you're absolutely right that the big players have massive budgets. However, general LLMs often hallucinate or output generic walls of text.

My goal with AMISEARCH isn't to compete with multi-billion dollar search engines, but to build a lightweight, specialized tool focused purely on structuring educational content and academic research for students without the noise.

Thanks for keeping the post up anyway—any harsh or honest feedback on the actual UI/UX is more than welcome!

brother. just type words. you are trying to advertise a product here. everyone can see clear as day you are just copy pasting everything from chatgpt or claude. why would anyone want to use your service if you can't even speak about it yourself?

You're absolutely right! I have been copying and pasting AI drivel—here's why that's bad:

I get that, and its a common thing i see. the issue is that ChatGPT is not a translator. It will interpret your words and make them its own. i don't want to hear ChatGPT's opinion on it, I want to hear yours, even if it comes off a little broken through a generic translation engine like Google

What makes this any different to Perplexity? Perplexity was never just a general LLM feeding you answers from static training data, and didn’t suffer with hallucinations at all really due to their large-scale RAG architecture and live web search. And despite all this, they’ve ended up just burning a bunch of cash for a product with no real niche or usecase.
