I'm not so sure this is an open source NotebookLM as it is a few experiments in an iPython notebook. What NotebookLM does at an LLM level is not particularly novel, it's the packaging as a product in a different way than what others are doing that I think is interesting. Also the "podcast" bit is really just an intro/overview of a large corpus, far more useful is being able to discuss that corpus with the bot and get cited references.

What this does however demonstrate is that prototyping with LLMs is very fast. I'd encourage anyone who hasn't had a play around with APIs to give it a go.

If we can have this running locally on mobile phone that would be pretty cool. Imagine receiving a work document (for example, product requirement documents), and then this turning it into a podcast to play for me while I am driving. I think my productivity will be through the roof and I don't need to worry about compliance issues.

I wish chatgpt or Claude would make an an Android Auto app that I can use while driving.
