Great first impression!

Once you understand how Notion works, it will be the most flexible and powerful tool to make life easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
The initial learning curve is overwhelming, but I remained curious to push myself through.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing many tasks and automating note-taking. Note-taking is huge for my ADHD brain.
Notion AI for Students
What do you like best about the product?
The AI meeting notes. This function has supplemented my learning greatly.
What do you dislike about the product?
You cannot draw, though you can add your own illustrations by linking Excalidraw
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps me with note taking, and keeping track of my projects.
Personally use and recommend Notion as a second brain to everyone!
What do you like best about the product?
The customization is amazing for neurodivergent brains. I can track anything I need. The new AI feature that can help you edit databases is also extremely helpful for those of us who don't know exactly HOW to do what we want to do, but only know what we want to do. I also recommend Notion to everyone because of the pricing and ability to collaborate.
What do you dislike about the product?
I can't think of features I don't like, but there are a few features that would make the platform 100x more valuable:
- The ability to have multiple checkboxes in a database property (without creating a separate database property for each, individually)
- The ability to see multiple database views within one single view -- for things like tasks, calendar, etc. I know you can see it in the Notion Calendar app, but I'm not leaving the app to do that. I wish those additional features were integrated in-app.
- The ability to change a rollup property entry outside of the original database.
- A feature where you can set "template" database properties to quickly access/reuse across multiple databases (for things like tags, categories, etc.)

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As an ADHD business owner, Notion is a life saver. My ideas naturally come very disorganized, and are easily forgotten. So having an affordable place to jot down, process, and organize information for my personal life and business is a game changer.

Notion AI is a game changer.
What do you like best about the product?
Notion AI has cemented its place as a game-changer in the productivity space, largely due to its seamless and intuitive integration within the Notion ecosystem. Unlike standalone AI tools that require context-switching, Notion AI is woven directly into the fabric of your workspace, available with a simple keystroke. This proximity to your notes, projects, and databases is its superpower.
Its versatility is remarkable. It serves as a powerful co-creator, capable of brainstorming ideas, drafting emails, writing blog posts, or creating outlines from a single prompt. For existing content, it excels at summarizing lengthy meeting notes, extracting key action items, and improving the clarity and tone of your writing. This ability to both generate and refine makes it an invaluable partner for overcoming writer's block and enhancing communication.
Furthermore, its contextual awareness within Notion databases allows for intelligent autofill features, saving immense time on manual data entry. By operating directly where work gets done, Notion AI doesn't just add a layer of intelligence; it fundamentally elevates the entire user experience, making it an essential tool for anyone looking to streamline their workflow and boost their creative output.

What do you dislike about the product?
So far the only downside is you cannot tag a page that is not in a DB.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1. Tool Overload and Disjointed Information: Many individuals and teams rely on a multitude of applications for different tasks: one for notes, another for project management, a third for documents, and yet another for spreadsheets. This fragmentation can lead to information silos, making it difficult to maintain a single source of truth and collaborate effectively. Notion tackles this by integrating these functions into a single, interconnected environment.
2. Inflexible and Rigid Software: Traditional software often imposes a specific structure on how users can organize their information. Notion's "Lego-like" block system provides a flexible framework that allows users to build their own workflows and structures. This adaptability means you can create anything from a simple to-do list to a complex project management dashboard, all tailored to your specific needs.
3. Inefficient Collaboration and Communication: For teams, especially those working remotely, maintaining clear and consistent communication can be a challenge. Notion facilitates seamless collaboration through features like real-time editing, comments, and mentions. This creates a centralized hub for team knowledge, project updates, and discussions, reducing the reliance on scattered email threads and chat messages.
4. Poor Knowledge Management: Companies and individuals often struggle to capture, organize, and retrieve important information. Important documents can get lost in folders, and institutional knowledge can disappear when an employee leaves. Notion functions as a centralized knowledge base or "wiki," making it easy to create and access a repository of information that is searchable and easy to navigate

Notion AI changes how we use Notion company wide in the best way possible
What do you like best about the product?
With Notion AI we can ask questions not just search for information when we are referencing note and documentation. Notion is our digital HQ and now we have a full time assistant that will help us create, organize, and review anything we need. It's been a great additional feature we are fully leveraging.
What do you dislike about the product?
My only wish is that the AI feature could be better utilized cross platform with some of the other programs we already have connected and integrated within Notion (Google Drive, Slack, Trello, etc.)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Notion provides us with a centralized hub where we can easily access our most important information, including process documentation, client details, and shared knowledge.
AI Writing Assistant
What do you like best about the product?
I love Notion as a product and use it to run my entire business efficiently. The new Notion AI is fantastic at creating structured documents from my messy thoughts. The setup was super easy, and I appreciate that Notion allows me to export my data while not forcing me to do so.
What do you dislike about the product?
I find the iOS app less responsive and experience lag while using it on my phone. This affects usability as loading times are slow and responsiveness is lacking.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to run my entire business and personal note-taking. It organizes my messy thoughts using Notion AI into structured documents, making project management and accessing information efficient. It's central to my business operations, providing a reliable knowledge database.
Notion — a complete life solution that’s powerful and versatile with a steep learning curve.
What do you like best about the product?
I’m impressed by how easily Notion lets me create and customize templates, like a digital bullet journal, making setup quick and efficient. Its clean interface, easy sharing, and centralized workspace help me manage projects without juggling multiple files.
The databases are great for organizing text and journaling, and sharing pages adds real value with ease of integration with AI. Notion is an excellent all-in-one tool for my coaching and writing business.
Ease of Implementation: Simple to set up and adapt to my workflow.
Customer Support: Helpful and responsive with plenty of useful resources.
Daily Frequency of Use: I use it daily to plan, organize, and manage tasks efficiently.

What do you dislike about the product?
I haven’t found Notion AI as helpful as I hoped, especially for searching quotes or notes from Readwise. I’m still learning how to prompt it well, which adds some frustration, and the price feels high for a solopreneur. Notion’s setup can be tricky, though tutorials like Thomas Frank’s help. I just wish it had more templates and a better workout tracker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Notion to keep all my tasks and projects in one place, making it easy to track my writing work without jumping between files. It streamlines how I set up pages and tables, keeps my workflow organized, and makes sharing or collaborating with others effortless.
Perfectly centralize my work
What do you like best about the product?
I'm using Notion everyday personally or in my different organizations. This is user friendly, so this is easy to implement this app in your workflow. I love the idea Notion can connect all my apps with Notion and ask the the IA agent to look for information into my apps, so that is amazing when I want to work without changing windows. Also the support answer quickly even with the huge amont of customers.
What do you dislike about the product?
This is a bit slow when there is a lot of blocs or data in a page/database.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
To spend time going from an app to another
difficulties to follow projects and you teamates work
Difficulty to share information and staying in the same vision
