## Description

Open Notebook is an open-source research workspace with separate notebooks for different projects. It accepts PDFs, office documents, web pages, video, and audio.

Users can run full-text and vector searches, chat with reference to their sources, and take notes. The app also offers content transformations, podcast creation, a REST API, and multiple model providers including Ollama.

Docker Compose is the recommended self-hosting method. Chat and search require configured language and embedding models; cloud APIs may charge and receive submitted content, while public deployments need password protection and HTTPS.
