The best productivity tool I use.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is packed with functionality, but I like how easy it is to create and link databases.
What do you dislike about the product?
The learning curve is steep, but once it clicks in your mind, it's very powerful.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion AI helps me create new content for my multiple websites. I also use it to create action items from meeting notes and research for my industry. It's invaluable.
Easy and useful
What do you like best about the product?
I like that I can give it a topic and it easily creates me a outline so that I can save time. I'm able to focus on the important parts of projects.
What do you dislike about the product?
Wish that it was a little more knowledgeable.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It lets me focus on my priorities and taking out the stress work.
Good for organization and writing
What do you like best about the product?
I like having documents organized and embedded in one another for copywriting and site mapping. I also love writing up documents and reports and sharing them as a live view link; it can look super professional, and it's easy to use. The task database is really flexible for your needs and customizable.
What do you dislike about the product?
Though Notion is great for getting organized, it's easy to waste a lot of time "optimizing." Sometimes, a sticky note is just faster, and it's easy to over-customize and build things you don't actually need. It's smart and capable, which is great, but it's easy to build the "task manager to end all task managers" and make something too complicated that you don't actually need. The templates are the same story.
Secondly, the AI isn't as intelligent as I would like it to be. It doesn't see the whole picture of all the documents in the workspace, but only works with whatever is on the page you're currently on. It doesn't make databases or pages, which I find limits it to a semi-handy writing assistant. As a writer, I don't think the writing is good enough to be that useful. The AI is a nice thought, being embedded in the program, but it's a little disappointing, honestly.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It's great for recording all my tasks, ideating for social media content, project management, and note-taking.
Projecting
What do you like best about the product?
Unified search, the enterprise search feature that looks accross Notion and other tools
What do you dislike about the product?
Speeding in searching, can be slow sometimes specially when handling large db or complex pages
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Actually i think it doesnt has a lot of tutorials of how to, it is also friendly but if you don't know about technology you will have hard times getting through
I never thought I would use so much but I do daily.
What do you like best about the product?
I love Syncing across devises. The AI stays in its lane and does not as some models often do make up info or get stuck in direction.
What do you dislike about the product?
The one true downside is hand writing recognition. I would love to take notes with Apple Pencil but I can't so I leave a perfectly good notes app to use a Goodnotes for handwriting my notes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Allows me to organize public talks with qoutes and callouts. The AI writing helps to summarize or simplify my work. Even change tone of my presentation. Though I write my talks myself these feature help tremendously.
Notion is a flexible, powerful tool (and AI makes it more so)
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is incredible at giving you the flexibility you need to create whatever you need—from a simple notes library to reminders to project management. Over my two years of using it I've developed systems that help me in my day-to-day tasks both as a business owner, creative freelancer, and even a father of 4 kids. All of my notes and projects live inside Notion and I use it daily.
What do you dislike about the product?
While a selling point of Notion is its powerful tools, the complexitiy is also a downside. It took me several tries to understand it, and I gave up just as many times until it finally clicked. Notion does a decent job of helping you learn, but it's almost like trying to teach someone Adobe Photoshop. There are so many tools that you kind of need to dive in and explore in order to learn them all. That itself is a barrier of entry for the person who isn't technically inclined.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I manage anywhere from 3-5 projects at a time, all with their own assets, tasks, and deadline. Notion is flexible enough that I'm able to build a project management software tuned to my specific needs and desires. It also is a ready repository for all my notes, spanning from family to books I read to work notes. With all of my notes and projects living inside of Notion, the AI features are able to search my own personal notes. Just this morning I asked the AI assistant, "in what note did I write about looking for clients with a 500k budget?" It was able to search the my whole database and link to my precise note. Having AI plugged directly into the knowledge database I'm building is awesome.
Your Go-To Platform for all things
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is an incredible helpful tool for many different aspects of your life. With the easy to use templates, you can create personalized pages for business, personal, and everything in between. What is great about Notion is it's ability to apply itself to many different types of users - students, CEOs, key stakehoders, and more.
Getting started on the platform is very easy and they have a ton of helpful resources for you.
Notion's new AI feature has been a game changer, and something that seriously impacts your ability to check things off quickly.

What do you dislike about the product?
There are some limiting features within the in-line functionality available. For example, formatting some of the tables or calendars can be a bit limiting.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
AI writing assistant is a great way to cut down on my action items. I can pop in a phrase, and it will give me an excellently written paragraph based on the prompt.
You can also have AI writing assistant summarize notes/agenda items for you as well.
My primary use for Notion is project management. The personalized approach you can have with Notion makes it such a great management tool.

Awesome Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notion is super handy for notetaking and organization. I especially the AI Writing Assistant for note taking in a fast-paced class requiring more attention on keeping up with the dialogue than pausing to take notes. Simply type a keyword and notion AI can fill in the rest!
I've also used it for collaborative team planning, and know classmates who have utilized the AI brainstorming feature with success.

What do you dislike about the product?
There's a learning curve like with anything, but I don't have any noteworthy complaints!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Intuitive and flexible note organization with AI writing to fill in the blanks or flesh out descriptions helps me spend more time listening and less time documenting.
Organization hacks for ADHD
What do you like best about the product?
It's like my own personal assistant! When I discovered the app, I was in my second semester of grad school while working 2 jobs and I felt like I was drowning. I joined before the AI assistant and notion helped me gain control over my life, which completely shifted my work life balance. Once the AI assistant came in (I've taken to calling mine Nancy), it was a game changer I didn't know I needed! I'm able to organize my thoughts, outline papers, and set a foundation for my tasks much faster and much better.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be overwhelming to begin - a white page is overwhelming for me, and the initial templates weren't what I needed.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When my task list is too long, Notion AI helps me to sort out my tasks based on priority and time.
Indispensable Tool
What do you like best about the product?
It has made a tremendous impact in my ability to manage my own life and my business. It keeps the information I need very accessible and organized. I nearly always have Notion up on my computer and use it daily on my phone as well.
What do you dislike about the product?
It is a great backend for documentation and wiki's, and it's awesome that I can publish pages directly to the web - it would be nice if I could connect my domain directly through Notion for web publishing and have greater control over public permissions and access, but that is a shift in scope from it's current focus.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I can keep my personal and business life organized well in Notion, and with the AI feature, I can quickly ask questions and let the AI give me an answer from my own information.
