An Open Source implementation of Notebook LM with more flexibility and features - lfnovo/open-notebook
Summary

Open Notebook is an open-source, self-hosted alternative to Google's Notebook LM that supports 18+ AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama, LM Studio) and runs entirely locally via Docker. It offers multi-modal content ingestion (PDFs, video, audio, web pages), multi-speaker podcast generation (1-4 speakers with custom profiles), full-text and vector search, and a REST API for automation—all while keeping user data private and avoiding vendor lock-in. The project uses SurrealDB as its database and is deployable via a simple docker-compose.yml with a 2-minute setup.
