Productivity Boost with Minor Upload Hiccups
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate Notion for its time-saving capabilities in writing and reviewing content. I find the organization more intuitive than Google Documents, and value the usefulness of linking and summarizing content.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find it challenging to upload larger documents and long format content in Notion.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion saves me time on writing and reviewing content, and it organizes in a more intuitive format than Google documents.
Notion AI has been fantastic for generative writing, not as great at summarizing across pages
What do you like best about the product?
I absolutely love the flexibility of Notion. The lego blocks can literally be made into anything and we have completely eliminated our product team's use of Jira because of it, including much better things like customer feedback links to videos, synced data and tables across numerous different initiatives, and a rollup view for leadership that is so much easier to manage than a weekly or monthly powerpoint.
The AI features have been amazing for writing up documents out of thin air. It also does a great job of summarizing a single transcript. I have been trying to get it to summarize multiple teams' weekly updates across synced product blocks and that seems to be too much for it.

What do you dislike about the product?
Again, it would be an absolute dream if I could summarize across synced blocks, especially if I could automatically re-sync on a weekly schedule!! I am trying to have each team's weekly report summarized into a single location for a regular leadership meeting and it's unreliable and not accurate most of the time - and a huge headache for a human to do. I can't tell you how many different variations of an AI text prompt I've used.
Also, the Table view is a bit limited in that you can't comment in it. We use tables heavily for reporting purposes and weekly updates so it's easy to consume for leadership, but commenting on those things isn't possible so we have to use undesirable workarounds like commenting in the top-level page instead of the weekly update.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Keeping our leadership team up to date with each product team's progress, along with storing customer interview data/qualitative stats, and having thorough, well thought out documentation with commentary and links. We can link our objectives back to our research in an extremely flexible way, which is so much better than any other tool out there.
Efficient and organised
What do you like best about the product?
I appreciate how easy and intuitive Notion is and how I can integrate other files and pages into it. It helps our teams organise information that needs to be access by multiple people at the same time, making it us more efficient and productive.
What do you dislike about the product?
How sometimes I can't find a page and I wish there was a way to create folders / categories to save the pages to easily find them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is helping me organise ideas and make notes of meetings and make project management clear and easier. Specially with the new AÍ assistant, everything is quicker and more productive.
Notion is my favorite note-taking app
What do you like best about the product?
Smart, nested organization of notes, quick customizable blocks using "/", so many integrations with other tools that I use.
What do you dislike about the product?
The blocks can get a little clunky if you're trying to paste in images or links. Also, I love writing with my ipad, so wish there was a handwriting feature too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It is an organization of my entire life. My personal notes, to dos, recipes, work stuff, school stuff.
Notion is an all encompassing platform
What do you like best about the product?
I can add codes, equations, and embed links in a notion document. I also use it to organize my studying!
What do you dislike about the product?
The AI gets things wrong half the time. I would rather it tells me it doesn't know.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I asked notion to write the bibliography of my research paper. I mostly ask the AI for computer-based questions both theoretical and code.
Super helpful innovation
What do you like best about the product?
Notion really helps me in organising my daily activities, and it has templates which makes it so easy to use, the design is simple yet aesthetically pleasing so I am always excited to use it
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing I dislike about Notion is that I cannot upload large sizes file and need to pay for an upgrade
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me brainstorm ideas on the various projects that I work on, the AI prompt also super effective. With the AI technology I noticed that my productivity has been incredibly improved. I can spend less time to get things done. Time efficient.
Notion AI and speeding through work
What do you like best about the product?
Notion helps me corrilate data across my life into meaningful and actionable items. I love the ability to make notes within Notion tasks keeping all relivant information at my hands
What do you dislike about the product?
The iOS app for Notion could use some support for native automations like shortcuts. I also find using Notion on iOS to be a bit wonky on my iPad when using the second screen.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion brings actionable work and information together. It allows me to stay in flow while getting the work of life done. I love not having multiple tools and being able to access what I need, when I need it.
Efficient and Intuitive AI-Powered Productivity Tool
What do you like best about the product?
Notion AI has completely changed the way I approach managing projects, tasks, and organizing knowledge. Its AI-driven features facilitate streamlined organization, teamwork, and process automation, making it an indispensable tool for productivity.
What do you dislike about the product?
Newcomers may face an initial learning curve, particularly when it comes to setting up and personalizing the platform. Becoming familiar with the myriad of functionalities and options may take some time. Additionally, the mobile app could use enhancements in terms of performance and overall user experience.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion acts as my "second brain" by centralizing and organizing thoughts and knowledge. This digital extension enhances productivity by effortlessly capturing, storing, and retrieving information, while improving decision-making and creative thinking.

Creating and retrieving notes and reference points is easy
Longtime Obsidian user switching to Notion
What do you like best about the product?
I used to be an avid user of Obsidian, a somewhat similar note-taking/knowledge management program but recently switched most of my activity to Notion because of a few things that make it much easier to use. The biggest reason I prefer notion is because of the built-in support for databases and calendars. Obsidian has this functionality, but it is only through the use of community-built plugins, and they don't always play nicely together. Notion's built-in database and calendar functions are much more versatile and easier to use. The other reason I prefer Notion as of late is how easy it is to share notes and pages with colleagues.
As far as the Notion AI thing goes, I've been using it to create study guides and outline reports. I like how it is able to draw from notes and files in your database/notes, but I find that it does not always provide accurate information or 'understand' the material (which is simply the nature of AI text generation, to be fair). I wish it would generate longer responses, or at least let the user specify how long they would like their response to be. While it is extremely simple to use, I wish that there were more parameters when imputing prompts.

What do you dislike about the product?
What I miss about Obsidian is now customizable it is as compared to Notion. Obsidian vaults are built by the user from the ground up and allow for a much more diverse set of functions. Another thing I prefer about Obsidian is that it is more individual-focused, while Notion is more team-focused. This is just a personal preference based on how I use the software.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I'm a student, and I primarily use Notion to take notes in my classes, draft papers and projects, and collect resources. I started using the AI assistant feature to help me write study guides and outline projects.
