Open Notebook: An Open Source Version of NotebookLM

1 month ago 1

Open Notebook is the cognitive partner you always wanted and could never explain why. It combines the power of AI with unwavering privacy controls. It's designed for researchers, students, and professionals who want to enhance their learning and abilities while maintaining complete control over workflows, models, and how their data gets used and exposed.

Is this right for me?

📚 Learning Enthusiast

You're constantly seeking knowledge and want to go beyond surface-level understanding. Learning for you is about building deep, lasting comprehension.

🤝 You want a learning partner

You believe your learning process can improve by partnering with a tailor made AI. You want to be provoked to think more clearly.

🤯 Your learning backlog is way too big

You have hundreds of links you would love to read, but there is no time for it all. You want to make sure those are catalogued for when you need them.

✍️ Independent Thinker

You value both taking notes and forming your own ideas. You understand different viewpoints but believe in developing your own perspective.

🔒 You are privacy aware

You don't want all your context, thoughts and plans to be all over Big Tech, if not necessary.

💁 You like things your way

You want to decide how your content is handled, which AI models you want to interact with and help specifically it should help/challenge you.

What is the plan for the future?

There is much more that can be done to augment human knowledge. Open Notebook's first release is just a first step in that direction. The end goal is to build a Cognitive Partner for every person. A customized assistant that can help you develop your skills, knowledge, and opinions in a way that makes sense to you.
