Notebooks

Notebooks help you turn useful ideas, grounded answers, and project findings into durable written outputs.

What Notebooks Are For

Use notebooks to:

• Capture notes during active work
• Save and refine AI-generated drafts and summaries
• Assemble report sections from multiple sources
• Build exportable technical documents

Where chat helps you think, notebooks help you keep.

Creating and Managing Notebooks

Each workspace can contain multiple notebooks. From the notebook panel you can:

• Create a new notebook — Click the + button to add a new, blank notebook
• Select a notebook — Use the notebook selector at the top of the panel to switch between notebooks in the current workspace
• Rename a notebook — Click the notebook name to edit it
• Delete a notebook — Use the notebook actions menu

The Editor

The notebook editor is a full-featured rich text environment designed for writing structured technical content. It supports:

• Headings, paragraphs, and lists
• Bold, italic, and other text formatting
• Code blocks for snippets and technical notation
• Tables
• Inline and block-level formatting suitable for technical reports

Notebook content autosaves continuously—there is no save button to click.

Saving from Chat

One of the most productive notebook workflows is saving assistant responses from chat directly into a notebook.

When you click Send to Notebook on any chat response:

• The response content is appended to the currently active notebook
• If no notebook is active yet, one is created automatically (named Notebook 01, Notebook 02, and so on) and opened for you
• Inline citations are written as readable parentheticals (for example (Engineering and Design Manual, 304)) instead of bracketed [N] markers
• A References section is appended at the end, listing one full citation per cited document
• The notebook remains in the same workspace context as the conversation

This is a strong pattern for building report drafts: ask a question in chat with document retrieval enabled, review the cited response, and save it to the notebook for refinement.

Add to Chat Context

You can also point the chat the other direction — pin one or more notebooks so their full content is included in every message you send.

In the chat input toolbar, open the Context popover and switch to the Notebooks tab. Each notebook in the current workspace appears with an estimated token cost; check the ones you want pinned. Pinned notebooks are visible in the chat session for as long as the panel shows them — there is no separate persistence step.

Behavior:

• The notebook markdown is re-injected on every message while pinned, so the model always sees the current version. Edits you make in the editor are reflected in the next message you send (no re-pin needed).
• Notebook context works whether or not document retrieval (RAG) is enabled.
• A per-notebook and total-notebooks size cap is enforced server-side. Notebooks larger than the per-notebook cap are truncated with a (notebook truncated to fit context) marker; when the total exceeds the all-notebooks cap, every pinned notebook is proportionally truncated rather than dropped.
• Embedded base64 images are stripped from the injected text (the model can't use them, and they balloon token counts).
• The selector shows a running token estimate and a warning when you approach the total cap.

Cost note: pinned notebooks count toward the input tokens billed for each chat turn. Premium-model chats and base-chat allowances are debited based on these tokens; pinning a large notebook will materially raise the per-turn cost. Unpin when you no longer need the inline context.

Exporting

Completed notebook content can be exported in formats suitable for downstream use:

Format	Use Case
Markdown	Technical documentation, version control, developer handoff
Microsoft Word	Report delivery, review workflows, client documents

Export preserves the full document structure including headings, lists, tables, and formatting.
