Love NotebookLM but hate giving Google your data? I found a great open-source alternative

Open Notebook is an open-source NotebookLM alternative that can route through local AI models instead of sending your documents to Google's servers — which is a meaningful difference if you're feeding it anything sensitive. It works similarly to NotebookLM on the surface, but the ability to keep everything on your own machine is the whole point here. Worth a look if you've been curious about NotebookLM but never quite trusted it with your actual stuff.
