Notion is a fantastic app to use for students

  • March 29, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Notion has always been a phenomenal application to use as a database organizer. I use it to manage my education for my class notes, assignments, brainstorming, and every thing in between. Notion AI has made Notion even more great by implementing an assistant for my notes. I can use it to check for the definition of scientific words, ask it questions, clarify parts of class notes, and much more.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion still needs to be operational during offline use. Having offline use that will update itself to the cloud would be amazing, similar to Anki, but automatically instead. The AI system for Notion also needs to be able to generate answers outside of the notes in the Notion document. For example, I may ask Notion AI for the function of a protein, but it will only generate what is on the Notion document instead of searching for outside sources.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I had issues with organizing notes and having a study tool. With Notion's customizability, I'm able to use one program for all of my use cases!

A full service solution!

  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
There are several things I like best about Notion. The templates make it easy to get started using the product, the wide range of usage for various different use cases is incredible, and collaborating with teammates through the shared functionality is seamless.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wish there was a way that I could open two saved pages with one docked on the right. This is capable. When you are viewing a page and then opening or creating a new page or new subpage, you can have the primary page open and start creating a new page with a docked on the right. However, haven't figured out how to do it with pages I've already created.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The new AI writing assistant has been so helpful with cleaning up grammar, spelling mistakes, and helping to improve my writing based on tone and audience. Having this feature has made creating knowledge-based articles and instructions faster and simpler.

What do you like best about the product?
How it is able to help with certain criteria of the assesment. It being able to follow through and produce a well written essay
What do you dislike about the product?
Limited capability: Notion AI is primarily designed to assist users in organizing and structuring their data within the Notion app. While it can automate some repetitive tasks and provide helpful suggestions, it may not have the same level of advanced machine learning and natural language processing capabilities as other AI-powered tools.

Lack of customization: Notion AI is a pre-built solution, which means that it may not be able to meet the specific needs or preferences of all users. Customizing or fine-tuning the AI's behavior may not be possible, which can limit its usefulness in certain situations.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Providing definitions and explanations: notion ai can help clarify difficult concepts by providing definitions and explanations. You can ask questions about specific terms or topics, and notion aican provide helpful answers and examples to aid in your understanding.

Generating summaries: If you have a lot of information to process, notino ai can help by generating summaries. You can input a large text or document, and notion aican provide a concise summary of the key points, allowing you to quickly understand the main ideas

Notion runs our small Foundation

  • March 29, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Notion has core features that allow us to custom-design efficient information sharing and workflow systems across multiple projects with our small team.
What do you dislike about the product?
One use case that would help us manage external partnerships we cannot do currently because we cannot limit external user access to specific records in a shared database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Notion to manage our projects a wide range of projects, including events, grantmaking, and resource development. Integration via Zapier to Google Forms/Sheets, Stripe, and EventCreate makes Notion a one-stop tool for our whole team. We have virtually eliminated email as the primary communication vehicle for our staff. Comments in Notion are context-specific, taking the recipient to the exact spot on a page or database entry where they can review and respond.

The best solution is the one you can build

  • March 29, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
That you can customize and create exactly what you need. Notion gives you so many tools (and keeps adding more) to create the exact solution for your needs. It has everything from a simple writing app to a full system for creating a second brain, a CMR, or even a collaboration tool for your business with endless possibilities.
What do you dislike about the product?
Notion has a sort of steep learning curve. And I guess that is where it resides its power. You need to tinker and try a lot to get the best of it, which can be frustrating. The good thing is there an evergrowing community and plenty of people talking about it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
For starters, Notion is my second brain. This is where I have created a system to combine my personal and professional life. I can have all the Areas of my life in order, develop Projects for each of them and assign them Tasks and Resources. I also have a habit tracker, a library of grabbed links from the internet, and there are always many ideas on how to do more. Recently, it has been so helpful in helping me write content for some courses I am creating. I am highly impressed with how it manages translating and content creation in Spanish.

Notion AI frees up my time to focus on more profitable tasks

  • March 29, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
The new Notion AI assistant has been a game changer for me, allowing me to save hours of work by crafting summaries and follow-up emails to potential clients and my team. Notion AI helps me get unavoidable admin work done more quickly, freeing me up to focus on high-level development work (that's also more profitable!). That’s where I thrive, and Notion AI makes it more possible.

I am also keeping a robust habit tracker and energy log. Notion AI's ability to review the data and reflection notes, and then report on key themes, patterns and insights, is amazing. I have made changes in my habits based on the reports I've run, acheiving significant benefits I couldn't have seen otherwise.
What do you dislike about the product?
My most significant downside is not being able to highlight number cells in a database and see a quick total like you can in other spreadsheet apps. It only allows you to see totals from an entire database or calculations based on how you group the view. So, you can do it. It just takes more steps than I prefer.

Another limitation is the inability to bulk change the due dates of tasks and milestones relative to one another. I would like to be able to link the due dates of a set of related tasks, so that if one date changes, it automatically affects the rest of the related tasks. Currently, this has to be done manually as there is no automated way to accomplish this. (Unless there is a formula that can do this that I'm not aware of!)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion solves two problems for me. The first is customizing my productivity and knowledge management to work the way I think. The second is to have a centralized place to manage productivity and knowledge for my team (and family!). Overall, this has saved me time and allowed me to focus on more creative and profitable projects. Also, it's just so clean, simple and beautiful to work with. No clutter. No overwhelm.

Second Brain with A Twist

  • March 29, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Notion for 5+ years now, and have been using it as my second brain for both personal and professional. On the business side, I am a UX designer, and one thing that I love to do is post all of my secondary and primary research and transcripts from user interviews, and then ask Notion to help me tweeze out the key pain points/ issues/ benefits etc. I also love the community, the shared templates, and the continuous improvements being brought into the tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
Setting up pages and linking data based can be a bit tricky. I'd love if I could not only ask the AI to help me with written content, but also with page setups. It doesn't have to be anything fancy, but it would be great if the tool was intuitive in that way where I could say what I'm trying to track or create, and it could suggest page layouts with linked subpages and databases or build tables for me and then provide a quick tutorial or explanation on how to navigate.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion acts as my planner, notebook, and sticky notes, all wrapped into one. It's a digital note taker that is with me wherever I go. The AI features have helped with my grammar and brainstorming, summarizing text, and tweezing out information or key points out of complex compiling of notes.

My External Brain Got a New Brain

  • March 29, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I've used notion for several years to store notes, journal, and keep track of my goals and daily tasks. In terms of linking ideas and creating systems for a life OS, there really is no comparison.
What do you dislike about the product?
The biggest downside to Notion that immediately comes to mind is the lack of offline storage. I really would love to continue working offline when I'm not around wifi.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I produce a lot of content, keep my standard operating procedures, use notion for goal and project management, and keep all of my notes inside of Notion. Adding AI to the mix has taken Notion to an entirely new level where I can quickly do outlines, keyword research, article research, and brainstorm inside of the app at blazing-fast speeds.

Using Notion with ChatGPT functions

  • March 29, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
I love organizing my to do lists and creating case studies that look good, then posting them to web with fruition.
What do you dislike about the product?
That I have to use external tools (fruition, cloudfare) to host my notion doc as a proper website, I would pay for this feature to be intergrated.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion allows me to write documentation rapidly and to organize my life, solving the problem of being a slow writer.

Notion has been a HUGE help for me!

  • March 29, 2023
  • Review provided by G2

What do you like best about the product?
Notion AI has been huge in helping write content. As someone who is constantly sending emails and writing blog content it's been a huge help in proof reading and even improving my writing.
What do you dislike about the product?
I wouldn't say I dislike much about Notion much, from organizing my projects to AI helping my writing. I have not tried it yet, but soon I'll be using the AI to help write excel macros, so the jury is still out on how well it can do that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion helps me keep all of my projects organized, helps me write better blog content, and helps me stay productive and on track.
