Local OpenBook Plugin for LM Studio

A private, local alternative to Google's NotebookLM, running entirely within LM Studio.

Features

• RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation): Intelligent search across your uploaded documents using Cross-Encoder Reranking for high precision.
• Multi-Modal Ingestion:
  • Files: Drag & drop PDFs, TXTs, MDs (Native).
  • Web: "Add source https://example.com" (extracts article text).
  • YouTube: "Add source https://youtube.com/watch?v=..." (downloads & transcribes).
• Podcast Generation: "Generate a podcast about this" creates a dialogue script between two AI hosts.

Prerequisites

How to Use

Configuration

• Reranker Enabled: Toggles the advanced reranking step. Disable for speed, enable for accuracy.
• Retrieval Limit: How many text chunks to retrieve (default: 5).

Known Limitations

• Web/YouTube Source Indexing: Currently, content fetched from the web/YouTube is added directly to the chat context. It is not indexed for RAG retrieval unless you copy the text into a .txt file and drag it back into LM Studio.
• Audio Generation: This plugin generates the script. You need an external TTS tool (or a future update) to convert the script to audio.
