AI assistant: Create a new note as a child of a selected parent (note or folder)

Summary

Add an AI assistant improvement that allows users to create a new document (note) directly under a specific parent — either another note or a folder — using natural language.

Problem

Today, the AI assistant can create notes, but there’s no reliable way to tell it to nest the new note under a particular parent note or folder. This forces manual reorganization and breaks flow when documenting within structured hierarchies.

Proposed behavior

• From anywhere the AI assistant is available (inside a note or in the notes tree context), users can instruct:

  • "Create the note as a child of <parent name>"

  • "Create the note under <parent name>"

• Target can be:

  • A specific note (document)

  • A folder in the note hierarchy

• The assistant should: 1) Resolve the target by name and context (prefer the currently selected/open parent when ambiguous and present a disambiguation list if multiple matches exist). 2) Create the new note as a direct child under the resolved parent. 3) Confirm creation and provide a link, showing the new note’s location in the hierarchy.

Example prompts

• "Create the note as a child of Quarterly Planning"

• "Create the note under Release Readiness folder named 'Q4'"

• "Create a note called 'API Risks' under 'Platform ADRs'"

Expected outcome

• Faster content creation within structured documentation, fewer manual moves, and clearer organization for teams working heavily in nested notes.

Impact

Reduces friction for documentation-heavy teams, improves accuracy of hierarchical organization, and expands the assistant’s usefulness beyond flat note creation.
