Notion AI (Alpha) — Meet your new partner in thought

Hey Product Hunt! In Notion's San Francisco office, we have a portrait of computing pioneer Doug Engelbart. In his 1962 paper "Augmenting Human Intellect: A Conceptual Framework", he proposed a vision for computers to move beyond typewriters and room-sized calculators into powerful aids that solve complex human problems. His ideas were a big reason why we built Notion. And today we're taking a step toward that vision — we're introducing Notion AI in private alpha, bringing the power of artificial intelligence right into your Notion workspace. What you can do with Notion AI (as alpha)? Notion AI is a writing assistant that can help you write, brainstorm, edit, summarize, and more. Consider Notion AI your partner. It augments your thinking — helping you save time or spend it more wisely. Here are some examples of how teams and individuals can use Notion AI:

• Let it tackle that first draft — the first word can often be the hardest one to write. Instead, ask Notion AI to handle your first draft about a topic and get some ideas for you to mold into something great.
• Spur ideas and creativity — instantly get a list of ideas about anything. This can help you be more creative, surfacing ideas as a jumping off point (or some you wouldn't even have thought of).
• Act as your hawk-eyed editor — whether it's spelling, grammar, or even translation, Notion AI catches mistakes or translates whole posts to help ensure writing is accurate and actionable.
• Summarize a long meeting or document — instead of sifting through a garble of meeting notes, let Notion AI pull out the most important points and action items.

Really, Notion AI (in present form) is your teammate before, during, and after the writing process. P.S. We are moving people off the waitlist every day, sign up to get added! P.P.S. This is only our alpha. It'll get much better in the coming months. P.P.P.S. We're looking for Machine Learning engineers to help us build the future of Notion AI (link). Join us!

This is a game changer for everyone doing their writing/content in Notion and I'm looking forward to it as I do all my work in Notion. You have pushed so many great updates this year. 🚀

Just when I thought that, as a very active Notion ambassador and one of the first Notion Certified Consultants, I more/less know what to expect from Notion's roadmap, this shows up out of the blue. It just makes so much sense. Especially, beautifully executed in the Notion style. Most of our startup clients are using Notion exclusively for writing in the context of knowledge management and internal comms, so I can't wait to see how we can help them move even faster and work more productively with this tech!!

As a copywriter worrying about being replaced by the machines I'd like to ask: was this text written by Notion AI?:)) congrats on the launch! Looks cool

Is this a GPT-3 Based? If so, will you allow using our own API keys to decrease the cost? Also will you allow to modify the prompts to those actions? I never enjoyed zero-shot solutions - it is poor for achieving consistency.

Oh boy! Never thought I'd need this in my life until now. Excellent execution - truly the "Notion" way. Time to ditch all the AI tools our teams use.

Couldn't imagine running our business without Notion. And I'm sure very soon we'll feel the same way about Notion AI. Can't wait to use it.

I mean....like WOW! This is going to be so incredibly useful, every day. Love how Notion takes the quantum leap with AI. And hey, anyone want to help me jump up the queue (laughs!) https://www.notion.so/product/ai... Seriously though...well done Notion....can't wait!

Congratulations! What an amazing move, there is no doubt that Notion AI can boost my team's productivity.

Whenever I think there's no more possible places where Notion can meaningfully add to my workflows.. @ivanzhao and the team go all "hold my beer" on me. Dang mate! My hands are on the keyboard waiting for this.. Greetings from New Zealand. I hope you're all well!

I am so stoked for this. As someone with dyslexia, I need a second set of eyes for the simplest of writing. While spell check is fine, but a more detailed grammar editor is usually needed. This means I am jumping around through tools, running plugins, or enlisting people to edit my work. This saves me from all of that and in the main tool I use. Thank you Notion!

So is this basically an application layer on top of already existing large language models or is there anything else to it?

Oh my god, This is unbelievably good news. I believe it will mark a new era where Notion will lead the way. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

Looks super cool.Excited to try Notion AI.Can't wait to access this. Kudos to the team for building this revolutionary product in the wordprocessor world.

This is the beginning of a new era where humans and AI intersect. Can't wait to see how this will shape up how people work!

Can’t wait to use this. I was about to pull the trigger on buying some existing AI tools but I think I’ll wait til I make it through the waitlist for this one.

Notion has been my favorite task management tool to date. Notion AI will make it 10x better. Looking forward to using this feature daily! Congratulations on the launch @benln

Nr 25127 on the list! Cant wait to try it out! Are there any plans in far future to extend to other languages?

Meet your new partner in thought i love that! brilliant title! I am using notion for more than 2 years!congrats!
