Short answer
How can I use my AI to take notes in Zoho Notebook?

Where your notes land.

Your agent sorts your thoughts into these specific destinations.
NEW NOTE

The agent uses create_notecard to turn your spoken or typed thoughts into a digital card. This keeps your ideas from disappearing.
NEW FOLDER

If you start a new project, the agent uses create_notebook to set up a fresh space for your notes.
