🦅 Perplexity AI Query Interface

Perplexity AI Query Interface is a quite simple Python Flask web application that lets you interact with the Perplexity AI API in a user-friendly way. The app is designed to be simple, modular, and efficient.

🚀 Features

🌟 Core Functionalities

1. Query the Perplexity AI API:

   • Send customizable user and system prompts.
   • (Optional) Append uploaded .txt file content to the query.

2. File Upload:

   • Upload .txt files and combine their content with your query prompt.

3. Save API Responses:

   • Automatically save the API response as a .json file with a timestamped filename (e.g., query_result_yy-dd-mm-hh-mm.json).

4. Display Results:

   • View formatted query results in a table for easy readability.
   • Access the raw JSON response for advanced debugging or sharing.

🖥️ Front-End Features

2. Results in a New Tab:

   • Query results are displayed in a separate browser tab.

3. Copy JSON Results:

   • A "Copy" button allows you to quickly copy the raw JSON output.

🛠️ Robust Design

1. Error Handling:

   • (Hopefully) gracefully handles missing inputs and file upload errors.

2. Modular Code:

   • Clean structure with helper functions and well-organized routes.
