Notion has released a major update to its AI capabilities, positioning the tool not just as a writing assistant but as a full-fledged analytical co-pilot capable of synthesizing information across your entire workspace.
In our two-week evaluation, the AI performed impressively on structured tasks: summarizing meeting notes, generating project timelines from requirement documents, and creating data visualizations from embedded spreadsheets.
Where it struggled was in tasks requiring nuanced judgment or domain expertise. Financial projections included plausible but sometimes incorrect assumptions, and strategic recommendations were generic enough to apply to almost any business.
The most valuable capability proved to be cross-document synthesis, where the AI could identify connections and contradictions across dozens of pages in a workspace, a task that would take a human analyst hours to complete manually.
At $10 per user per month on top of existing Notion subscriptions, the AI features represent reasonable value for teams that generate and consume large volumes of documented knowledge.
