What problem does it solve?

Open Notebook provides researchers with a self-hosted, privacy-preserving platform to organize materials, run AI-powered analyses, and collaborate with documents without relying on external services.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Notebooks, Sources, Notes: organize research artifacts and capture context-aware conversations.
  • Context-aware Chat & Search: discuss with your materials and retrieve citations across sources.
  • Podcast generation and content transformations: create narrated summaries and extract insights from notebooks.
  • REST API with multi-provider support: integrate programmatically and swap AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google GenAI, Ollama, Groq, Mistral, etc.) without code changes.
  • Self-hosted data sovereignty: keep data on your infrastructure with encrypted credential storage. Use cases: research brainstorming, literature reviews, project documentation, and AI-assisted note-taking.

Quick Start

Install Docker, set OPEN_NOTEBOOK_ENCRYPTION_KEY, run docker-compose up -d, and open http://localhost:8502 for the UI and http://localhost:5055 for the API.
