What is MODSetter/SurfSense?
SurfSense is an open-source alternative to NotebookLM that lets you research and analyze live web data through a unified platform, accessible via API or MCP server. Built with FastAPI, LangGraph, and LangChain, it combines web scraping, RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), and AI agents to gather and process information from the open web. Developers can use it to build research tools, chatbots, or automation systems that need real-time web data and reasoning capabilities, with support for both cloud and local LLMs like Ollama.
