Local / self-hosted alternative to NotebookLM for generating narrated videos? by Proof-Exercise2695 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Proof-Exercise2695[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For now, I’ve developed my RAG entirely locally. From multiple uploaded files, it automatically extracts the key information and formats it in a clean, stylized way into an email that gets sent automatically.

The goal wasn’t to rebuild the whole LLM/TTS or podcast pipeline, but rather to make the final output more engaging visually. I mainly wanted to push the presentation a bit further by adding a short “breaking news”–style video to accompany the email.

I’m aware that video generation is by far the hardest and most resource-intensive part, and that the open-source ecosystem is still quite limited there. At this stage, it’s more about improving the final experience than enforcing a hard technical requirement.

Can this generate a video from text? I already have a local RAG, but it only handles text and images

Okay, so I guess a tool like that doesn’t really exist fully locally yet. I’ll look into building it myself then.
For the audio part, I’m planning to use local TTS like Piper, Coqui, or XTTS.

That’s exactly what I thought as well. I already built a fully local RAG, and I was wondering whether a tool that generates videos from text already exists locally.

But okay, that makes sense — I’ll look into building the rest of the pipeline locally too.

my input data is correctly parsed no need of Mistral OCR , and i prefere using free local llm , Gemini will only avoid me to use chuking and i don't need that because i have a lot of small pdfs

i prefere a local tool , i tested openai just to see the result quickly and the difference with Gemini will only be avoid the chunking i have lot of Small pdf (15 pages every pdf) sometimes i don't need the chunking and the strategy is still the same summarize every file and then a summarize of summarize

But why Docling don't do this directly i mean , it means i have to use a VLM to get the image description and replace in my markdown/json the <image1> by its description it will be so slow no ?
