I don't care much for NotebookLM's UX. I find the layout confusing, the concepts conveyed in the UI not very intuitive. I feel like the power of what's under the hood doesn't translate very well into the frontend.

That said, this article was a very nice overview. Clean page, interesting to see his perspective. He clearly took tare and thought about the project. I don't agree with his conclusions and results, but that's just one user. Hopefully we see more thoughtful approaches. The space moving so quickly doesn't exactly foster a craftsman-like care in design.

Do you use an alternative? I haven't explored the space much.

		I'm writing an LLM interface that would work for me, but as a side project I cannot really give an ETA. I'm going in a fairly different direction to all the ones I've seen (including NBLM) because I am going workflow-first for my workflow.

		I don’t know that I’ve seen any product due quite the same thing yet. Like you said the space is pretty new and most of the other LLMs that I’ve seen tend to be about doing research. This seems to be the only one that’s really focused on just researching current documents you upload and giving you an interface to explore that. I don’t think you will take too long for new tools to come, but it’s too early.

		leshokunin is right. there’s not at all many close app to it. Among few I could find nouswise very close and having a note driven design was a plus for me. Idk how this feels like for you.
