Overview

Tired of switching between Wiki and YouTube to learn something? I built PLI 7.9 to create a “3 + 1” learning dashboard. One search gives you the best three text deep‑dives and the top video guide in a single, unified screen.

Features

Multimodal – Combines text, video, and image context instantly.
Fast – Sub‑second response times via Vercel and smart API pooling.
Clean – Built for researchers, students, and developers who hate ads.
