Quick Start

Create Your First Notebook

Sign in to Deep Notebook and click New Notebook in the sidebar. Give it a name that reflects what you want to accomplish — "Weekly Report," "Email Triage," or "Project Updates."

Connect Your Apps

Before your notebook can interact with external services, you need to connect them at the account level.

Click Integrations in the sidebar to see all available apps. Select the ones you use — Gmail, Slack, Notion, Google Drive, Salesforce, and others. You'll authenticate once through OAuth, and the connection persists across all your notebooks.

Back in your notebook, open the Integrations panel at the top. Here you enable which connected apps this specific notebook can access. This gives you control: a notebook for email workflows doesn't need access to your CRM.

Write Your First Block

A block is where you write instructions. Click into the block input area and describe what you want:

"Find all emails from the last 7 days with 'Q4 Report' in the subject line and summarize the key points."

Select your preferred AI model from the dropdown, then click var(--mkt-text-primary)]">Run. Different models have different strengths — see [AI Models for guidance on choosing.

The notebook reads from your connected Gmail, processes the emails, and returns a structured summary directly in the block's output area.

Chain Blocks Together

Click + Add Block to create a second step. Now you can reference the previous output:

"Using the summary above, draft a status update for Slack that highlights the three most important takeaways."

Run this block, and you'll see a formatted message ready to post. If you've connected Slack and specified it as the output destination, the notebook can post it directly.

Refine with Magic Prompt

Not sure how to phrase your instructions? Click the magic wand icon (⌘) in any block. Deep Notebook analyzes your prompt and suggests improvements — clearer language, better structure, or additional parameters you might want to include.
