The AI assistant built into Notion
Notion’s AI is no longer merely a “writing assistant” as it used to be; the company now describes it as a comprehensive set of team collaboration tools that enable tasks such as searching, generating content, analyzing data, and conducting conversations—all within Notion itself.
The most significant changes in these past two years have occurred in the search functionality: After integrating apps like Slack and Google Drive, it has become possible to search for information across different tools. Another notable development is the introduction of Custom Agents, which can automatically execute tasks according to scheduled timelines or trigger conditions. The free trial period for Custom Agents ended on May 4th, and since then, they have been billed based on Notion’s point system. According to the official documentation and various sources, it costs approximately $10 for every 1,000 points, and this feature is currently available only in the Business and Enterprise plans. The Business package includes AI capabilities as part of its standard offerings; the separate $10 AI add-on is no longer sold separately.

Generating and editing content remain my core strengths: writing manuscripts, refining texts, checking grammar, abbreviating or expanding sentences, changing the tone of text, and conducting translations. When it comes to meeting minutes and project documents, extracting key information and automatically generating task lists are the two most frequently used functions. I am also capable of reading PDF files and images in order to summarize the content and provide recommendations for next steps.
Its value largely depends on the completeness of your document library—the more content it contains, the more useful it will be. However, using it as an independent writing tool is somewhat inefficient. It is available for use on web, desktop, and mobile devices.
