# Notebook

Notebook lets you save and manage documents directly within your conversations. No more losing important information — your Agent can take notes, save reports, and organize research materials. Everything stays in the current Topic and is always accessible. Notebook turns fleeting conversation insights into structured, manageable documents — from meeting minutes to study notes, research reports to to-do lists.

Notebook is topic-level document storage. When valuable content arises in a conversation, your Agent saves it to the Notebook, building a structured document library linked to that Topic. Reference and revisit these documents in future discussions.

## What You Can Do with Notebook

### Save Notes and Reminders

Your Agent quickly records ideas, to-dos, and flashes of inspiration. Say "Take a note for me" and the content is saved to your Notebook.

### Organize Research Materials

When your Agent helps you search or analyze data, save the valuable findings. Next time you continue your research, everything is right where you left it.

### Generate Reports and Articles

Your Agent drafts structured reports, analytical documents, or long-form articles and saves them directly to the Notebook. View, edit, and expand them anytime.

### Manage Document Versions

Ask your Agent to update existing documents — add new content or modify what's there. Documents in the Notebook evolve over time, staying up to date.

## Enabling Notebook

Notebook is a built-in Skill. Enable it for your Agent to use document management features.

**From Agent Profile** — Go to the Agent Profile page, click **+ Add Skill**, and check **Notebook**.

**In a conversation** — Click the Skill icon below the chat input and check **Notebook**.

## Using Notebook

Ask your Agent to read document content:

- "Show me the notes we saved earlier"
- "What did that report say?"
- "Summarize the key points from the research document"

To delete a document when it's no longer needed, instruct your Agent to remove it or open the Notebook panel and delete it manually.

## View and Manage Documents

All saved documents appear in the Notebook panel on the right side of the Topic. Click the document icon in the top-right corner to open the panel. You can:

- Browse the document list to view titles and summaries
- Click a document to view its full content
- Edit documents directly in the panel
- Click **Edit in Drafts** to sync the document with the Drafts section in the conversation

## Use Cases

**Meeting follow-up** — During a call, ask your Agent to take notes. After the meeting, the notes are in the Notebook — ready to share, expand, or turn into action items.

**Research projects** — Save key findings, quotes, and summaries as you go. Build a reference library that grows with each conversation.

**Learning and study** — Have your Agent explain a concept, then save the explanation to the Notebook. Review it later or ask for clarifications in a follow-up.

**Project documentation** — Keep decisions, specs, and progress notes in one place. Each Topic can hold the docs for a specific project or phase.

## Notebook vs. Other Features

| Feature                                                  | Best For                                                                                  |
| -------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Notebook**                                             | Documents tied to a Topic — notes, reports, research within a conversation thread         |
| [Pages](/docs/usage/getting-started/page)                | Standalone long-form documents — co-written with Agents, not bound to a single Topic      |
| [Resource Library](/docs/usage/getting-started/resource) | Knowledge base — upload files for Agents to search and reference across all conversations |

Use Notebook when the document belongs to a specific conversation. Use Pages when you're building a document that stands on its own.

## Tips

- **Name documents when saving** — "Save this as 'Q1 Planning Notes'" helps you find it later.
- **Combine with GTD** — Save meeting notes to the Notebook, then ask your Agent to extract action items into GTD tasks.
- **Edit in Drafts for long edits** — For substantial changes, use "Edit in Drafts" to work in the full Pages editor, then sync back.
