Using LlamaIndex to Build an Open-Source NotebookLM Alternative - Tuana Çelik, LlamaIndex
This talk demonstrates building production-ready agent workflows using open-source frameworks, focusing on LlamaIndex Workflows 1.0 and the broader OSS AI ecosystem.
We'll explore how open-source tools enable powerful, controllable agents within well-defined workflow designs, minimizing error risk while maintaining full transparency and customizability. You'll see the evolution from simple RAG to complex agents handling tool use, document analysis, report generation, and human validation—all built on open-source foundations.
The session features NotebookLlama, our open-source NotebookLM alternative, demonstrating how OSS frameworks power document-to-podcast generation and multi-modal analysis in production—showcasing that production-grade agent systems can be built entirely with community-driven tools.
