  ## ✨ Why Farfalle?
  
  Unlike general-purpose LLM frameworks (e.g., Haystack, LlamaIndex) or search databases (e.g., Elasticsearch), Farfalle is a complete, ready-to-deploy AI search engine application. It provides an end-to-end solution for self-hosting a Perplexity-style answer engine, integrating search providers, LLMs, and a full user interface out-of-the-box.
