What do you like best about the product?

The best thing about Notion is its excellent UX that lets you focus on what you're writing. In addition, Notion has a ton of easily accessible functionality to build your pages, be it Kanban boards, Roadmaps, Databases, and tons of handy things. Honestly can't go back to my personal and professional writing without it.

What do you dislike about the product?

Unfortunately, it still doesn't allow for the customizability that would take it to the next level. You should be able to change the fonts, background colour/palette of pages and build advanced dashboards (handy for team managers in tech organisations) - alas, this is not available yet.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion's ability to structure your pages into wiki-like sites makes it ideal for writing technical documentation for projects, internal company wikis and personal writing projects. Furthermore, the AI tools are quite handy - some of them need significant prompting work from the user to be useful, but the "Improve Writing" functionality is perfect to use on any text.

What do you like best about the product?

Easy to use, it didn't take me long to learn the basics.

What do you dislike about the product?

The UX is very dull and plain, I wish there was bit more colour.

Notion is fixing grammar so when I send sales messages I don't have errors in my messages.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Tasks management and more recently faster writing with the help of AI.

What do you like best about the product?

AI has streamlined my research and writing process and helped me think through coding challenges. I organize all of my professional and personal projects on Notion because it covers a lot of management needs.

What do you dislike about the product?

The Notion desktop app can be very glitchy, and there are still features I hope will be available soon, like calendar integration. I also do not like how the colors in dark mode appear. Some of them are unusable because you cannot see the text.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I enjoy building out my planner that keeps all of my projects in one database. Creating different views to highlight event types, like homework vs meetings, is easy.

It is a good way to organize every aspect of my life, from work to the menu for the week and even travels. I like that I can share it with colleagues and my spouse and that there are really fun templates

What do you dislike about the product?

It takes a long time to learn. I wish there was a central place to find videos on how to use each feature or type of "doc". Maybe there is such a place I just can't find it.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can plan all my UX projects and keep track of all the links and content related to the project, in one place. I can also store notes and feedback in a way that is well organized in the same document.

What do you like best about the product?

Notion AI allows me to push out emails and other low-impact writing. I also enjoy summarizing a page of notes after a long lecture

What do you dislike about the product?

It sometimes fails to pick up where I am on the note page. Sometimes it will begin writing about something that I referenced much earlier despite a prompt directing it to cover something else.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?

Notion is helping me consolidate my class and extracurricular notes, which makes it easier to stay on top of school, work, and scholarship.

What do you like best about the product?

I was asked to review notion AI. I'm not a notion user by default, I was attracted due to Notion AI's release. I use it for writing non fiction. I am amazed at its speed, compared to chatgpt or anything where I've used the openai API . it really excels at improving writing and cleaning grammar. I struggled with GPT 3 to get it to modify grammar without adding its conclusion statements or variants and trying to "cowrite" my text. I spent more time trying to prompt it to correct grammar than getting it to actually do it. With Notion, I can select a huge swath of text, have it correct grammar and spelling, and "improve writing, " which it does beautifully without losing context. Again, with GPT's general model, "improving writing" will yield unpredictable results and it will often write things that undermine what you are trying to say. Notion does not seem to have this problem at all. If you say "improve writing" or "make shorter" it does that, and it does it efficiently and quickly. After about 10 minutes of using, I gladly paid the $10 for the monthly subscription.

The other thing I liked initially is that it seemed to be aware of everything on the page. I was able to have it do outline summaries of very long sections of text that I'm positive I would have had to send in "chunks" through the api to openai (which degrades meaning and makes it very difficult to produce anything coherent) . And again, it does it very rapidly right in the context of your editor. I've tried some plugins for google docs and word that require you to wait quite a long time for much less pleasing results.

What do you dislike about the product?

Previous to about two weeks ago, I was able to have notion do some really specific things and get consistent results. I could have it generate a roman numeral outline, support the points with references from the text, and save it as markdown, for example. I could give it fairly complex instructions in my prompts and it would understand them. Also, it was much more aware of everything that was on the page.

Clearly something has changed which has severely handicapped its performance, making it about 45% less useful to me, leading me to look for other solutions. If I ask it to summarize something in an outline, it might say "i'm sorry this does not need an outline summary." Or it might say simply start regurgitating the text as is. it seems to literally ignore the details of my prompt. Or it might actually produce the whole outline, and at the end say "I'm sorry that exceeded the text limit" and delete the whole thing it just produced. Also, the notion editor itself has become less stable, and freezes up quite often. I'm on a free notion plan, only paying for notion AI, so I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Another frustrating thing is that I tried to google what kinds of issues people are seeing with notion AI and I can't find anything more recent than about a month ago, and it's mostly gripes about how notion AI has changed their experience with Notion. I don't care about my experience with notion, because I'm new to the whole thing. but I can't find anyone griping abuot Notion's features who seems to understand what it's for or what its good at , which means its less likely to be improved upon because there's nothing constructive being said.

When I try to look for information about Notion AI I find very little. There's nothing about how to control parameters, like temperature or creativity or anything like that. Nor can I find anything about how it's designed to function. What I find is essentially a sales pitch about how it'll write an email or give you a block of text, that isn't much different than every other autocontent writer that started a business in the last few months advertising the same thing. This is frustrating because I don't know if it's behaving as designed, if it's malfunctioning, or if they've implemented some limits and changes deliberately or....?

So in my view, improvements would be 1) good documentation about what it's actually trained to do, and perhaps what its NOT trained to do so that we have realistic expectations in using wihch would lead to a lot less frustration. 2) the ability to pay for more functionality if token limits are an issue as to why its suddenly only able to consider small blocks of text rather than everything on my page.
