Notebooks - AI whiteboard built for marketers

Why Marketers Struggle with Content Creation (And How Notebooks Solves It)

If you're a marketer, content creator, or social media manager, you've probably felt the frustration of scattered research across dozens of tabs, endless switching between YouTube, articles, and your own notes, and that creative block when you need it least. You spend hours gathering素材 only to stare at a blank screen, wondering how to turn a 30-minute video into a compelling Instagram caption or a blog post that actually converts.

This is exactly the pain point Notebooks was built to address.

Notebooks is an AI content studio designed specifically for marketers and content creators. Unlike generic AI tools that just generate text, Notebooks gives you an infinite canvas where you can connect notes, videos, websites, and research in one unified view—and then let AI discover the hidden connections between them. The result? Content that flows naturally from real research, not generic AI output.

What sets Notebooks apart is its ability to understand and link all your content together. Import a YouTube video about industry trends, paste in a relevant article, add your own brainstorm notes, and Notebooks' AI immediately sees how these pieces fit together. You get AI-generated content that's grounded in your actual research, not just AI hallucinations.

Trusted by teams at Amazon, Shopify, and Coinbase, Notebooks has become the go-to AI whiteboard for marketing professionals who need both creativity and reliability. Whether you're a solo creator or part of a larger marketing team, Notebooks gives you the infrastructure to work smarter, not harder.

What Notebooks Can Do for You

The Infinite AI Whiteboard That Connects Everything

Imagine having a digital workspace where every piece of content you need lives in one place—no more tab switching, no more lost context. Notebooks gives you exactly that: an infinite canvas where you can drag and drop notes, embed YouTube videos, link to any website, and upload PDFs or images. The magic happens when Notebooks' AI analyzes everything on your canvas and surfaces connections you didn't even know existed. A video about viral marketing strategies, an article about audience psychology, and your own campaign notes suddenly become a cohesive content brief.

This isn't just organization—it's intelligence working for you.

AI Models That Match Your Needs

Notebooks integrates multiple leading AI models so you always have the right tool for the job. You can choose from ChatGPT 5, Gemini 3 Pro, Claude 4, and DeepSeek R1 depending on what you're creating. Need a conversational social media post? GPT-5 might be your best bet. Working on detailed research synthesis? Claude 4 excels at nuanced analysis. The flexibility means you're not locked into one AI's strengths or weaknesses—you have the full ecosystem at your fingertips.

Import From Anywhere

Notebooks plays nicely with virtually every content format you'll encounter. Import any YouTube video and Notebooks will watch, understand, and analyze it—extracting key insights you can immediately use. Got a voice memo with a great idea? Convert it to written notes instantly. Have a PDF guide or report? Upload it and let Notebooks extract the wisdom. Even better, connect directly to any website without copy-pasting—Notebooks reads and understands web content in context.

And for the visual creators? Instagram Reels and TikTok imports let you analyze trending content formats directly within your workspace.

Brand Voice That Actually Sounds Like You

One of the biggest complaints about AI-generated content is that it sounds generic. Notebooks solves this with AI brand voice training. Upload samples of your best content—past blogs, social posts, email campaigns—and train the AI to write in your specific tone and style. Every piece of content it generates maintains your brand's unique voice, so you never have to choose between efficiency and authenticity.

Who Is Notebooks For?

Social Media Content Creators

If you've ever spent hours watching competitor videos, reading industry articles, and scribbling notes only to produce content that feels disconnected, Notebooks is your solution. On your Notebooks canvas, you can pull in a viral video that's performing well, link to a relevant blog post, and add your own strategic notes. The AI sees these connections and generates content that actually synthesizes your research—not generic text that could apply to any brand.

Brian Miller, a UGC creator, put it simply: "As a creator, this is one of the best tools I've ever used. I just find a YouTube video related to my topic and get publishable content that performs way better than anything I've known how to create."

Marketing Research Teams

Research often gets lost in translation—important insights from a podcast interview don't make it into the final campaign brief, or key data points from a competitor analysis get buried in a random file. Notebooks solves this by giving you a single home for all research. Build a comprehensive knowledge base where every video, article, PDF, and note lives together. When it's time to create, your research is all there, intelligently connected.

Content Strategists and Planners

The creative burnout is real—constantly needing to generate fresh ideas while managing distribution across multiple channels drains even the most passionate marketers. Notebooks supports your entire content lifecycle: from initial brainstorming and research to drafting, editing, and scheduling. The AI becomes your collaborative partner, handling the heavy lifting so you can focus on strategy and creativity.

Video-to-Blog Converters

If you've ever wanted to turn your YouTube videos into blog posts, articles, or email newsletters, you know how time-consuming manual transcription and synthesis can be. Notebooks makes this effortless: import any YouTube video, and the AI understands its content and generates polished, publishable written content in minutes. Repurpose your video content across multiple channels without the tedious manual work.

<card type="title="Pro Tip for Video Content"> For best results when converting videos to blogs, include 2-3 supporting materials on your canvas (articles, competitor content, or your own notes) to give the AI more context for higher-quality output.

Understanding Notebooks Pricing

Notebooks offers two straightforward plans designed to match your creative stage and volume needs.

How Credits Work

Notebooks uses a credit-based system that keeps pricing predictable while giving you flexibility. Credits are consumed based on which AI model you use, the type and size of files you import, and the complexity of the content you generate. A practical example: using GPT-4o to write a 1,200-word blog post while referencing 3 YouTube videos consumes approximately 5 credits. This means your 1,500 monthly credits on the Starter plan could easily generate 300+ blog posts per month—or significantly more with shorter social content.

The Pro Creator plan at $49/month doubles your credits to 2,500 and removes notebook limits entirely, making it ideal for serious content professionals or small teams.

Data Privacy You Can Trust

Your data stays private. Period. Notebooks doesn't use your content to train AI models, and all processing happens within the credit system—not by harvesting your work. Whether you're handling sensitive client campaigns or proprietary research, you can trust that your materials remain confidential.
