Decision brief
**search_with_lepton** is a TypeScript-based conversational search demo integrating Lepton AI's LLM and offering flexible backend options like Bing, Google SearchAPI, Serper, or Programmable Search Engine.
Good fit when
- - When you need a quick prototype of a conversation-driven search engine leveraging Lepton AI.
- - For developers preferring **TypeScript** who want to integrate with multiple search engines via API keys in a conversational interface.
Avoid when
- - Avoid if your project strictly requires only native integration with other LLMs besides Lepton AI as this tool is tightly coupled with it.
- - Not recommended if you aim to build a large-scale production system as the demo focuses on rapid development rather than high throughput or enterprise-level robustness.
