Pros & Cons

Notion AI

Strengths

  • +Q&A across the workspace is genuinely useful once your team has a lot of documentation — stops people pinging each other for info
  • +Inline writing tools feel natural since you're already writing in Notion anyway
  • +No separate app to open — AI is part of the tool you're already using every day

Limitations

  • -Q&A quality depends entirely on how well your workspace is organized — garbage in, garbage out
