@vista8: Last night I casually tested Knowly developed by the @Ethan_Yang_AI team. Tried interpreting YouTube videos and arXiv papers – the results were stunning. Except for a rather limited free quota and slightly slow vector processing. In terms of both product interaction and interpretation quality, it's no less impressive than NotebookLM. With a Chrome extension that has only a few users but has already been selected by Google as a featured pick, its strength is evident. Official site in comments https://t.co/62NkT3pO4G

Last night, I happened to try out knowly, developed by @Ethan_Yang_AI’s team.
I tested it with YouTube videos and arXiv papers — the results were impressive.
Apart from the slightly limited free quota and somewhat slow vector processing,
both the product interaction and the interpretation quality are on par with NotebookLM.
The accompanying Chrome extension has barely any users yet, but it’s already been featured by Google — that says a lot about its quality.
