Psst! Try ChatGPT with it, it's way cheaper, and it seems to work from initial testing!

SearchBot9k

SearchBot9k is a simple Electron-based application that spawns a web page and searches for answers to users' questions.

Please note that the application might sometimes get into loops, and not all errors are handled yet. A refactor is on the to-do list.

Contributions are welcome! Feel free to submit pull requests to help improve the project.

Known Issues

• The application might sometimes get into loops.
• Not all errors are handled yet, and the code could use a refactor.
• On Windows puppeteer needs an extra hand to get intially installed. I had to run node node_modules/puppeteer/install.js after npm i to get it fully installed.

Larry's Lazy License

I have not yet determined a license yet. I hold rights to the language of the actual prompt and the name SearchBot9k, but you can feel free to use the code here unless and until I figure out the legalities and pick a license, then you will have to follow that license from that point forward with future versions of the code / prompt.
