Scira (Formerly MiniPerplx) is an minimalistic AI-powered search engine that combines multiple data sources to provide comprehensive answers. The name ‘Scira’ is derived from the Latin word ‘scire’, meaning ‘to know’ - reflecting our mission to make knowledge accessible and intuitive.

Such a shame it uses Grok for LLM.

I still prefer Andisearch, it's Lightyears better and the most private of all other AI, but it's not OpenSource. From 2 devs which also hate Google and abusive big companies.

looks cool. but it uses wolfram.. https://www.wolfram.com/legal/privacy/wolfram and also collects analytics by default.
regardless of what a privacy policy says.. it's too tempting for AI companies not to use user input in non-direct ways. i wouldn't trust any AI company and probably not even the host.

Yes, but although Scira uses WA for information, WA's PP is irrelevant, since the analytics point this to Scira and not to you, same as any other source Scira may use. It is only important if you visit the WA page. In any case, I use Scira only occasionally in the Web Panel, I almost exclusively use Andisearch with the best PP of all AI search engines, which also has WA among its sources, but apart from that, it always uses a random proxy with sandboxed results for searches, apart one of the most accurate.
