Notion AI is Amazing for productivity
What do you like best about the product?
I am from Brazil, and my main language is Portuguese, but I work mainly in English. I still don't know 100% English grammar, so anytime I need to write more formal text (send to some stakeholder), or some copywriting for our product, I use the feature "Improve grammar". It functions exceptionally.
I love that in Notion we are able to create our databases and make relations between them. This is very organized to project management.
The fact that each record is a page is also very useful for product management or CRM - IF we have a table of tasks or a table of clients, we can add not structure content (text, image, videos, files...) in just one single page. This is awesome.
The fact that each record is a page and each page can have a "conversation" is also awesome. I wish we have this feature "internal chat" also for databases, ex: https://share.cleanshot.com/qxm8xlCY
I love that we can easily find what we are looking for with the feature of "search".
It's awesome the members management. Very easy to use.

What do you dislike about the product?
I don't like in Notion that the inbox don't work as I wish.
Sometimes I am tagged in something, and I read, but I can't answer in this moment. Would be awesome if we have "more than read or unread".
My proposal: Each time I am tagged in Notion, I gotta do something: Review, answer, research and answer, development and answer... - What if you create a "Default to-do list" for us, and then every time i see a new thing on my inbox, I can easily create a new to-do on my default to-do list. In this default to-do, I could have tags to separate work things from personal things, for ex.
Other thing that is kinda frustrating on Notion is that is too expensive to have more historical updates. You should give us 1 or 2 years of page history in Plus plan. In Airtable we can have 3 years - For that reason, our team still use airtable to manage our main tasks.
Other thing that is kinda frustrating on Notion is that you don't work properly with a lot of records (more than 200 for example). Other days I tried to import this database (https://welovenocode.notion.site/List-of-timezones-72f8a4a1f6a740038b3e329caf39422e) from Wikipedia i think, and I had to do a repetitive work to import like 50 rows each time, because If I wanted to import 300 rows, didn't work.
I don't have any Idea what other things I would improve or I dislike about Notion.

It feels limited with the air feature but it gets the job done, maybe suggestions would so I could learn more organizing techniques

It answers a lot of my questions and reduces the likely hood of me having to switch tabs to find everything

Impossible to tag a group of users as for simple user and to create graphics without using third-party applications
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Collaboration is the most useful feature form me, stock all my stuffs in one app
Notion’s AI has saved me so much time!
What do you like best about the product?
I'm not that great at writing well-constructed sentences, so I love the 'improve writing' functionality of Notion AI. I use it to draft emails, blog posts and marketing, and it has saved me loads of time and turned my core content into something more easily read.
What do you dislike about the product?
Not many. I a few times it's thrown up utter rubbish and I've had to start again. It writes in US English, and then I have to auto-correct to UK. I not sure if there is a setting to change that. I don't find the 'make more casual' option works very well as there's no way I'd write "Yo, how you doing' in my context.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I don't want to spend ages writing website copy, blog posts or emails. But I do want the important points I need to make communicated well. AI writing assistant has revolutionised this area for me. I've written all my website copy using it. The same with blog posts. I'm able to throw a load of info onto the page and at the end, as AI to make it read better.

nothing to dislike about notion enjoying all the features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previously when I used to prepare the notes, I was reluctant to share as I was not satisfied with organising the content, which pulled down my interest in creating more documents and sharing.
Great for School
What do you like best about the product?
Notion AI is incredibly well integrated. Love the customizability. Hardly ever come across something I want to create but can't.
What do you dislike about the product?
Exporting documents as PDFs looks a bit strange. Also weird formatting issues when attempting to paste large amounts of text.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Organizing and synthesizing information for school is easy. Used to just put all of it into a single document a have to cmd+F, but now I can create numerous pages and drill down to exactly the information I need. Templates have cut hours off my school work as well.
Love the ease of notion and the ability to have a hub for documentation
What do you like best about the product?
The ability to segement based on teams, access, role
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the formatting can be a little tricky

Lack of documentation, training, prioritizing, employee onboarding
Notion AI helps me prioritize by taking mundane, repetitive tasks off my hands
What do you like best about the product?
My favorite thing about Notion is the all-in-one tool it is. Now with AI and Slack integration, I only open my web browser and Notion. The Ai tool saves me time reformatting, summarizing, and rewording... this is super awesome since ChatGPT is often overloaded. I love how we can flex Notion to be what we need for our teams, however... (following Q)
What do you dislike about the product?
It is often difficult for new users to stick with Notion. Its open-endedness, customizability, and blank pages with loads of properties are intimidating to most. As an admin, one of my most challenging tasks is creating this stickiness at the beginning when introducing people to the tool.
Once people turn the hypothetical corner of understanding, its well-liked... but that new user stage is always a tough one to get around, and that is where we see the user fall off the journey and not adapt.
Notion's young age limits this understanding as there is not much online info on how to use the tool (like there would be for Excel or Word). We often find ourselves lost in articulating how things are working and have no assistance besides an account rep, which can be slow and inconvenient when Q's pop up all day. Notion's online knowledge bank is helpful but limited to foundational info and does not align with how many teams use this multifunctional tool past the classic uses.
Also- I have difficulties with the Desktop version crashing, but I can easily pick up on the browser version, causing small inconveniences but not much. The AI tool is amazing, but is limited by how much output it can return.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The notion is solving 1) the issue of duplicate content, 2) non-open-sourced AI tools and 3) it allows a virtual, all-in-one ecosystem where our teams can work.... As we work virtually, Notion is the closest thing we have found to feeling that collaboration that often fades when teams disperse/go virtual.
