Open Notebook: The Open-Source Alternative to Google’s NotebookLM

Open Notebook is an open-source project that replicates and expands Google’s NotebookLM, offering a more flexible, privacy-focused note and knowledge management system. Built for transparency and customization, it allows users to run their own AI-powered notebooks locally or on cloud servers.

Developed by lfnovo, the project supports data privacy, self-hosting, and integration with major LLMs. It includes a modern frontend, document ingestion system, and API for AI summarization, Q&A, and contextual search — all under the MIT license.
