Teams can use Notion AI to transform rough meeting notes into well-structured summaries with clear action items. The AI can help organize information, highlight key decisions, and extract tasks that need to be completed.

After pasting raw meeting notes into Notion, a team lead can ask the AI to "Summarize these notes and extract all action items with owners" to quickly create a shareable meeting summary.

Documentation & Knowledge Management

Organizations can use Notion AI to help create, maintain, and improve documentation. The AI can draft new documentation, update existing content, simplify complex information, and generate FAQs based on existing knowledge.

Example:

A technical writer can ask Notion AI to "Explain our user authentication process in simple terms for new employees" to create accessible onboarding documentation.

Personal Productivity

Create Notion templates with AI prompts already embedded to streamline recurring tasks like meeting notes, project briefs, or weekly reports.

Leverage for Research

Ask Notion AI to help organize research, create outlines, or generate questions about a topic to deepen your understanding.

"As a project manager, the meeting notes summarization feature alone is worth the price. It extracts action items and creates clear summaries that my team can actually use. The only downside is that sometimes it misses context-specific jargon from our industry."

"The AI is helpful for basic writing tasks, but I find it less powerful than dedicated AI writing tools. The $10/month add-on feels a bit steep considering I already pay for Notion Team. That said, the convenience of having it integrated is nice."
