AI agents for OneNote
A Monmo agent makes OneNote useful again. It turns rough meeting notes into a clean page of decisions and actions, finds what you wrote months ago in any notebook, gathers the items you tagged To Do into a task list, and turns a section of notes into a report or a handover. It works in your own Microsoft account and asks before it adds, moves or changes a page.

What agents do in OneNote
Clean up meeting notes
After a meeting it reads the page you typed in a hurry and writes a clean version underneath or on a new page: attendees, decisions, actions with owners and dates, and open questions.
AskTidy my notes from today's supplier meeting into decisions, actions with owners, and open questions.
Search across all your notebooks
Ask what you noted about a client's pricing last spring. It searches every notebook and section your account can open and quotes the passage with the page name and date.
AskWhat did I write about Northwind's pricing concerns last spring? Quote the note and tell me the page.
Gather tagged items into tasks
It collects every line you tagged To Do or Important across notebooks, groups them by project, and proposes tasks in Microsoft To Do or Planner. Nothing is added until you approve.
AskCollect everything tagged To Do in my Projects notebook and propose a task for each in Microsoft To Do.
Write research into a new page
It researches a topic on the web, then writes the findings as a OneNote page in the section you choose, with headings, a short summary at the top and links to each source.
AskResearch the main grants for small exporters in Japan and add the findings as a page in my Research section.
Turn a section into a report
A section full of site visits or interviews becomes one Microsoft Word report: a summary, a theme per heading and quotes from your notes, each pointing back to the page it came from.
AskTurn the eight customer interview pages in the Discovery section into a Word report with the main themes.
Reorganise a crowded notebook
It proposes a clearer set of sections, shows where each page would move and flags near-duplicate pages. Moving and renaming happen only after you approve the plan.
AskMy Work notebook has 40 sections. Propose a simpler structure and show where each page would go.
Brief you from your own notes
Before a call it reads your past notes on that person or project, plus recent Outlook emails, and gives you a one-page brief of what was said and what you promised.
AskBefore tomorrow's call with Riverside, brief me from my OneNote pages and last month's emails.
How it connects
- 1You link the Microsoft account that holds your notebooks, personal or work, once. The agent opens the notebooks that account can open, including shared ones. On a work account, your IT administrator may need to approve it.
- 2You choose which agents may use OneNote. A personal assistant or Chief of Staff agent is the usual owner; a research agent may only write new pages into one section.
- 3Reading and searching notes need no approval. Creating a page, editing or appending to an existing one, moving or renaming pages and sections, and deleting ask first.

Questions people ask
Can an AI agent read and summarise my OneNote notebooks?
Yes. A Monmo agent reads the notebooks your account can open and summarises a page, a section or a whole notebook. It quotes your own words and names the page, so you can open the original and check the context.
Can an AI agent add pages to OneNote?
Yes, after you approve. The AI agent drafts the page, shows it with the notebook and section it will go into, and creates it once you allow it, through the OneNote connection, or in its own browser when the connection does not cover something. Editing a page you wrote also asks first.
Can it read handwritten notes in OneNote?
Often, but check the result. Handwriting and photos of whiteboards can be read when they are clear enough, and the agent marks words it is unsure of. For important notes, read its typed version against the original before you rely on it.
Should I keep notes in OneNote or Notion?
OneNote suits free-form pages in Microsoft 365 and works well with Outlook and Teams. Notion suits structured databases and shared team wikis. The agent works with both through your own accounts, so choose the one your team already uses.
