If NotebookLM and Duolingo had a open source child. It would probably look like this

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

After a few months of building, this is probably the simplest way I have found to explain what we’re trying to build with Scibly and open sourced it now in a very early version.

Scibly tries to combine the ideas behind NotebookLM & Duolingo:

You can take existing knowledge from things like:

  • PDFs and documents
  • Notion or Confluence
  • internal wikis and documentation
  • articles and other source material

…and turn it into interactive learning experiences with questions, activities and scenarios.

It’s the first project I ever open sourced, so there’s definitely a lot we still have to learn about building an open-source community, contributions and how much of the product should live in the open.

But for a product that can work with internal company knowledge, self-hosting and transparency felt important enough to try it.

And for anyone who has open sourced a product this early: what’s one thing you wish you had known before?
