What is Notion AI?

Notion AI can search, chat, and write to help you do your best work, faster. It lives in the same place as your project plans, meeting notes, and whatever else you store in Notion, and it can even search information in your connected apps. No need to switch back and forth between your notes and a separate tool — Notion AI already knows your work, so it can be more useful and you can be more productive.

Notion AI is always just a click away whenever you need it. Here are all the places you can find Notion AI across your workspace:

• The Notion AI face in the bottom corner.

• Home in your sidebar.

• Inline on a page by entering space in a new block.

• Inline on a page by selecting ⋮⋮ when you hover on a block → Ask AI.

• Inline on a page by highlighting text and selecting Ask AI in the menu.

By default, you can use the keyboard shortcut shift + cmd/ctrl + J to engage Notion AI whenever you need it, even when you’re not working in Notion. To customize this shortcut, go to Settings → Preferences and enter your desired shortcut next to Keyboard shortcut for Notion AI.

There are several ways to quickly access Notion AI on your iOS device:

• Tell Siri to open Notion AI.

• Search for Notion in Spotlight.

• Open the Shortcuts app on your device. Look for Notion and tap AI to ask your question. If you want to save the Notion AI shortcut to your home screen, hold down on AI, then tap Add to Home Screen.

• If you have the iPhone 15 Pro, customize the action button so that it opens Notion AI.

Notion AI can answer questions by searching across AI knowledge, pages in your workspace that you have access to, and even apps like Slack or Google Drive.

To ask Notion AI a question, simply open it and enter your question. If you want Notion AI to take certain pages or people into account when answering your question, you can even @-mention specific pages, databases, teamspaces, and people in your query. When Notion AI answers a question using information from your workspace, or a connected app, it’ll always cite its sources.

You can also indicate what source you want Notion AI to pull from when answering your question. For example, you might want Notion AI to only look in Slack for updates for your upcoming project. To choose a source for Notion AI’s answer to your question:

1. Type your question.

2. Open the dropdown menu next to your current source. This could be All or the last source you used in a chat with Notion AI.

3. Find and select your desired source.

Users on the Business and Enterprise Plans have access to multiple AI models when they use Notion AI via Home — they can open the dropdown next to Ask and select from Notion AI, OpenAI GPT-4.1, or Anthropic Claude 3.7.

You can go to Home and toggle on Research mode to conduct analysis on more complex or open-ended queries. You could try creating a report on a project or exploring a hypothesis you have. When you’re in research mode, Notion AI can:

• Look at information across your workspace, connected apps, as well as search the web. You can open the All sources dropdown menu to narrow your search to specific sources. You can also click 🌐 to turn off web search.

  

• Find pages in databases.

• Identify whether a page is part of a database and query it.

• Filter and sort a database based on its properties. For example, you can ask Notion AI to look at all projects in a database that are due before a certain date and have a status of In progress.

• Read database pages within a page.

Once you enter your query, Notion AI will show you the sources that it’s using to gather insights and generate a report. You can click 👍🏼 or 👎🏼 to help Notion AI improve, or ask follow up questions to continue your research. Once Notion AI is done researching your query, you can Copy the information it’s provided or Save as page to keep the report in your workspace.

Notion AI can transcribe your meetings and summarize your meeting notes — no bots needed. AI Meeting Notes work with any client, keep all your ideas and decisions in one place, and are searchable with Notion AI. Learn more here →

As soon as you open Notion AI, you’ll see a list of actions it can take for you — this could be finding action items from the page you’re on, drafting a meeting agenda, or answering a question based on the page’s content. Click an action to quickly get started. Of course, you can also ask Notion AI anything by typing into the window, too.

You can upload files and images into your chat with Notion AI and ask questions about them. To do this:

1. Select the Notion AI face in the bottom corner of Notion.

2. Select 📎.

3. Upload your file (PDF) or image (PNG or JPEG).

Notion AI can also read PDFs that you’ve uploaded to your workspace.

Whether you’re working on a first draft or making edits to existing pages, Notion AI can help. It can even generate content for you based on context from your workspace.

You can highlight text in a page or hit space in a page and have Notion AI:

• Make edits to the page, like adding a summary or translating the page’s content.

• Review and edit a particular section of the page by fixing grammar, making content longer or shorter, changing the tone, and more.

• Create new content, like an outline, email draft, or table.

• Brainstorm on a certain topic.

You can even tell Notion AI where to make the change or what content to refer to by @-mentioning a specific page! Make sure you have access to that page so that Notion AI can properly reference it.

When Notion AI creates or edits content for you, you’ll have the option to accept or discard those changes, or have Notion AI try again.

Tell Notion AI what you need and it’ll set up a database for you. Autofill in databases also enrich your database pages with more information, automatically. Learn more here →

If a Notion page is written in a language that’s different from your workspace’s language setting, go to ••• at the top of the page → Translate and Notion AI will translate the page for you in your workspace language.

Notion AI can't:

• Answer questions using content that’s in a non-PDF embed, like a transcript from a video.

• Filter or perform aggregations on databases, such as counting the number of rows in a view.

You can access the last 50 conversations you’ve had with Notion AI at any time. To do this:

1. Hover over Home in your sidebar.

2. Select 🕘.

3. Search for a previous chat. Chats will be named based on what the conversation was about.
