I've got a cool new tool to share with you guys. Command AI. You've heard of Notebook LM, right? Google Notebook LM. If you're a student, you'll know this where you've got like so many sources. You you've got like a PDF, you've got like a YouTube video, you're learning something, and you you want to kind of bring all of that stuff together and just talk about it, query about it. like create documents, create charts and diagrams and whatever. Well, Notebook LM is actually the tool for that. So, I was just doing a bunch of market research and I pulled together loads of resources. You can pull in like web, you can pull in drives, you can pull in um even YouTube videos and stuff like that. What was really nice is you can generate um a podcast that pulls together and understands all the information. Really cool tool. Uh even flashcards and stuff. For me, this is a great study tool, right? But it's Google and um if you're outside of the EU, you know, they're probably like sucking up all of your data. Well, I stumbled across this basically a free clone of this tool. It's called Open Notebook. Wonder if this actually has a Oh, it does have a a website. And it's essentially the same thing. You've got a podcast generator, AI powered notes, privacy control, and it does everything that you want from uh note. Oh, they've renamed it Gemini notebook. I've just seen there. Uh it's got everything you need. You need Docker installed and you need it running, which I'm going to get in the background here. Easiest way to do it is just to copy this and paste it into your terminal and it will just install it anywhere. And it's essentially everything that you want. You basically can uh set up a bunch of sources. You can create a new notebook. Let's call it I don't know command AI uh re research. And then in here I can add a bunch of sources. And these sources could be a YouTube video. It could be some PDFs. It could be I could hand type it. Do whatever. Um let's actually just add the website. And that's just processing the website then pulling all the information down off the website. If it was a YouTube video, it actually download the transcript as well. And what's quite cool then if we go to models here, you can then choose a model to or at least a provider to be able to configure. So I'm going to add this is how to get something local running up. I've got OMLX and 1 2 3 4 is the API key. OMLX is if I start the server running on in fact I'll copy paste it 806 this is OMLX and you basically search your local models if I let's do inkling small if I load that I should be able to add that now and then select it as a model add your open AI uh API I key or whatever. Go into your notebooks, add all of your sources, you can create notes, you can query it. Really, really cool study tool and it's free. So, I don't know. That's my tool of the week. I'll probably do a more in-depth uh tutorial on my own channel, but like I think this is a really cool way to get a pretty good tool just open source running on your own computer. This is part of a larger conversation on my show Command AI, which we stream live every single week. We discuss the news and all things related to AI in the world of design and web. Catch us next week and join in the banter. Command AI.
