Searching with Notion AI

Notion AI search is more powerful than traditional search because it understands context and can synthesize information across multiple connected apps

Three main use cases for AI search:

• Process questions — helps new employees quickly locate important information about company policies, procedures, and workflows without having to ask colleagues

• Project questions — enables you to gather context from multiple sources like Slack, Google Drive, and GitHub to get a complete picture of project status and requirements

• Quick recall — instantly surfaces specific information like stats from past presentations or details from meeting notes, saving time spent searching through files

Setting up AI search requires either connecting external apps like Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, and Jira or importing information directly into Notion

The source picker allows users to narrow down search results to specific apps or areas, making it easier to find relevant information

AI search respects existing permissions, provides citations to sources, and eliminates the need to interrupt colleagues for basic information
