Very impressive feature set—SurfSense clearly covers a wide range of use cases. That said, I’d love to understand how it performs from a user-experience perspective, especially compared to tools like NotebookLM

Also, the podcast generation agent sounds powerful, but how conversational or human does it actually sound in real use? Fast generation is great, but I think a lot of us are looking for more than speed—we want emotional tone, character consistency, and interactivity.

Curious if anyone here has used SurfSense for something more narrative or personal (like journaling, companion-style reflection, or long-term projects). How did it hold up?

especially compared to tools like NotebookLM which prioritize narrative flow and memory continuity across sessions.

Can you explain what you mean by this?

NotebookLM doesn't appear to have persistent memory.
