# Work with playbooks from your AI tool

> A connected AI tool can now list your playbooks, open one and read every page with its talk track, create a new team or personal playbook, and rename one you already have.

## Your playbooks, from the same chat

Playbooks are now part of what you can hand to a connected AI tool. Ask it which playbooks you have and it lists them with their page count, when they were last edited and the meeting types that use them, newest edits first. You can narrow that list by name, and when there are more than 25 matches the AI is told there are more so it keeps looking instead of saying a playbook does not exist.

Point it at one playbook and it reads the whole thing: every page with its title, the kind of content it holds, the web address of website pages and the talk track you wrote in the notes, including the pages you parked in the **Backlog**. That makes it easy to ask what a playbook actually says before a meeting, or to have it compared against another one.

## Start a new playbook by asking

Ask for a new playbook and you get an empty one ready to fill in, either a **Team playbook** shared with your company or a **Personal playbook** only you see. If a playbook with that name already exists for the same owner, the AI is pointed at the one you have instead of creating a duplicate, and nothing is created. You can also rename a playbook you already have, which does nothing when the name you ask for is the one it already carries.

## Your permissions still decide

The AI works with your own permissions, so it reads only the playbooks you could open yourself. Creating and renaming a **Team playbook** stays with company admins and managers, and a **Personal playbook** stays with the person it belongs to.

Playbooks need to be part of your plan for this to show up. More on playbooks is in [our help center](https://demodesk.ai/help/all-about-playbooks), and connecting an AI tool is covered in [this article](https://demodesk.ai/help/demodesk-mcp).
