Live web search plus an LLM of your choice: Farfalle is an open-source, self-hosted answer engine in the Perplexity mold. Queries route through one of several search providers - self-hosted SearXNG for a fully independent stack, or Tavily, Serper, and Bing APIs - and the model composes a cited answer from the retrieved results. Model flexibility is the core design: run llama3, mistral, gemma, or phi3 locally through Ollama for zero per-query cost and full privacy, use cloud models like GPT-4o or Groq-hosted Llama 3 for speed, or route to any provider via LiteLLM. An Expert Search mode uses an agent that plans a multi-step search strategy and executes it for harder questions, and chat history keeps prior research sessions available. The stack is a Next.js and shadcn/ui frontend over a FastAPI backend with Redis rate limiting, shipped as a pre-built Docker image. A browser search-engine entry pointing at your instance makes it the default search from the address bar. Paired with SearXNG and Ollama, the whole pipeline runs with no external API at all.

Convert paper archives, email attachments, and PDF records into an organized digital repository with Docspell, an open-source document management system that automates optical character recognition, metadata extraction, and full-text search. Users can ingest receipts and invoices through network scanners, monitored IMAP email mailboxes, mobile uploads, or drag-and-drop browser tools. The background processing pipeline executes optical character recognition via Tesseract, enhances image contrast with unpaper, and extracts text from Word documents and PDFs. Machine learning algorithms analyze document syntax to predict correspondents, suggest relevant organization tags, and identify due dates automatically. Team members can search their entire filing cabinet using complex Boolean queries and full-text indexing powered by Apache Solr or PostgreSQL. Administrators can configure multi-user collectives with isolated permissions, define custom metadata attributes, set up webhooks, and share time-limited document download links. Users can also merge multi-page scans, track processing job queues, and export curated document collections for tax filings or legal audits.
