# Valetudo AI

**Valetudo AI** is a science-backed medical assistant powered by the Perplexity Sonar API. It provides fast, clear, and well-cited answers to health questions — helping users cut through misinformation with filters, image analysis, and ready-made prompt templates.

Designed for conscious users — like parents, patients, and medical students — seeking reliable information.

## Features

* **Cited Answers** — sourced from a curated list of 10 trusted medical domains
* **Smart Filters** — by date and country for localized, up-to-date insights
* **Image Upload** — analyze photos of medication, conditions, or packaging
* **Prompt Templates** — 7 categories for symptom checks, drug safety, research, and more
* **Simple UI** — built with React and Tailwind CSS

## How It Uses the Sonar API

Valetudo AI integrates with [Perplexity Sonar Pro](https://docs.perplexity.ai), leveraging advanced features for domain-specific search and rich responses:

| Trusted Domains  | `search_domain_filter`            | Restricts results to vetted health sources        |
| Visual Input     | `image_url`                       | Enables image-based medical queries               |
| Freshness Filter | `search_after/before_date_filter` | Helps surface recent and relevant findings        |
