# Explore and Research Content with Notebook AI

## Use Case: Notebook AI for Researching Repetitive Customer Support Issues

Customer support representatives often deal with repetitive customer issues that stem from underlying product issues or configuration gaps.

Multiple systems and sources record customer issues, such as support cases, JIRA tickets, Slack threads, and error logs related to the product. There are multiple ways to find and document solutions to the issues, such as personal notes, product manuals, or community articles.

If there's no clear knowledge in one place that support representatives can use, reuse, or share, it can lead to different responses and escalations. As a support engineer, use this general flow to work with Notebook AI:

- Create a research notebook
- Upload all the sources into a resource library
- Explore your sources by asking questions, reviewing responses, and validating source citations

Validate the resolution and create an authoritative article by copying or downloading your analysis. Share and add the new content to your enterprise resource as a knowledge base article for others to benefit from your research.

Sales representatives can use Notebook AI to research a sales proposal for a new business opportunity.

Sales representatives can utilize an AI-Generated notebook to upload various documents into resource libraries. These documents can include meeting notes with the customer, web pages detailing market trends, competitor analysis reports, and the RFP.

Explore your sources by asking questions, reviewing responses, and validating source citations. Use your research to generate a report and share it with your team for review.
