Zoho is giving its note-taking app, Zoho Notebook, a serious upgrade. The company has introduced a host of new AI-powered tools aimed at making note-taking, collaboration, and content organisation far more intelligent — not just for businesses, but also for students.

Built on Zoho’s privacy-first foundation, the latest version of Notebook brings Zia, the company’s in-house AI, directly into the experience. This means users can now ask questions, create smarter notes, and even generate mind maps, all inside the app.

AI that makes note-taking easier
One of the biggest additions is the new Intelligent Q&A Assistant. It can fetch answers from your existing notes through a feature called Ask with My Content, or help you understand new topics via Ask Anything. Imagine looking up something you wrote weeks ago — the app can now find and summarise it for you instantly.

For those constantly in meetings or lectures, Notebook AI can transcribe spoken conversations into well-organised, time-stamped notes with speaker tags and summaries. There’s also Mind Map Generation, which turns long documents into easy-to-read diagrams, helping users visualise complex information at a glance.
