SurfSense is an open-source AI research and knowledge assistant platform that connects any large language model to internal knowledge sources so teams and individuals can explore, query, and collaborate on insights in real time. Built as an alternative to proprietary tools like NotebookLM, Perplexity, and Glean, SurfSense allows integrations with a wide range of external data sources including Slack, Notion, Google Drive, GitHub, YouTube, and many enterprise systems, making it possible to interact with documents, chat logs, and structured data using natural language. Team collaboration is a core focus, with real-time shared chats, role-based access control, and comment threads enabling organized workflows. The platform also supports advanced retrieval augmented generation (RAG) capabilities, enabling powerful search and citation features that help answer questions with contextually relevant data.
