​​Zoho Adds Advanced AI Features to Its Notebook App

Zoho has unveiled advanced AI features for its note-taking app, Zoho Notebook, powered by its in-house AI engine, Zia. The update aims to make note-taking, collaboration and knowledge management more intelligent for businesses while also expanding these AI tools to students through a free edition.

The latest version of Zoho Notebook introduces several capabilities that help users capture, organise and retrieve information efficiently. 

Built on Zoho’s privacy-first architecture, the app now supports shared workspaces for teams, integrated whiteboards for visual content and seamless connections with other Zoho applications, including CRM, Projects and Mail.

Notebook AI brings intelligent automation directly into the note-taking experience. The new ‘Ask with My Content’ and ‘Ask Anything’ features allow users to query notes or generate insights instantly. A Meeting Notes tool transcribes and summarises spoken discussions, while the Mind Map Generator converts long documents into clear, visual outlines.

Additional enhancements include Smart Note Creation for structured content, such as checklists and templates, and Writing Enhancement for tone and grammar corrections. 

The app also introduces multilingual voice search and translation across 80 global languages, including eight Indian ones, and lets users customise tone and style for different audiences.

Zoho plans to integrate Notebook with Zoho CRM and Zoho Voice soon, enabling automatic transcriptions and AI-generated meeting summaries within CRM records.

Notebook AI is included at no extra cost for Zoho One premium users and available as a standalone add-on. Notebook Essential remains free, while Notebook for Business is priced at ₹333.25 per user per month (billed annually). The free student edition, now featuring Notebook AI, can be accessed using an educational (.edu) email ID.

The company has been adding new AI-powered features and agentic tools to win businesses. It has also recently managed to capture the attention of Mercedes-Benz to power its dealership technology platform.
