alterlab-open-notebook
From the author
Runs and scripts Open Notebook, a self-hosted open-source alternative to Google NotebookLM with a full REST API, for AI-powered research and document analysis. Use when organizing research materials into notebooks, ingesting diverse content sources (PDFs, videos, audio, web pages, Office documents), generating AI-powered notes and summaries, creating multi-speaker podcasts from research, chatting with documents using context-aware AI, searching across materials with full-text and vector search, or running custom content transformations. Supports 18+ AI providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Ollama, LM Studio, Groq, and Mistral, with data kept on your own infrastructure through self-hosting. For a one-shot file-to-Markdown conversion (no notebook, chat, or search), use alterlab-markitdown instead. Part of the AlterLab Academic Skills suite.
