Notion's new 'AI toolkit' is a game changer for productivity - here's what it can do
While we're always hearing about the latest from ChatGPT and Gemini, Notion AI feels like it sometimes flies a little under the radar. The company's own LLM offering is baked into its open-ended application and its more recent Notion Calendar and Notion Mail apps, and it has continued to invest in it. Now, the company is promising it'll get twice as powerful with a 'new toolkit of AI capabilities integrated throughout your workspace' with its new Notion AI for work. Here's all you need to know. Today, Notion has announced that it will roll out a new set of API capabilities to make the app more useful for teams that rely on it. The app ecosystem, which already combines documents, projects, calendar, and email, will gain new AI functionality that will make it easier to adopt artificial intelligence into day-to-day responsibilities and workflows. Notion says it's aiming to do this in four different ways, with the first being AI Meeting Notes, which lets users capture and summarise their calls and store them in Notion. Transcriptions are searchable with AI, and you can start with the /meeting block within Notion. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Up next is Enterprise Search, which will let users search within Notion using AI to find information from Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, OneDrive, Gmail, Box, Salesforce, Zendesk, and Linear, as well as databases and PDFs. The feature was teased last week by Akshay Kothari, one of Notion's co-founders. Slack search on Notion is better than Slack search on Slack. 5, 2025 It wouldn't be AI without a Research Mode, and this one can auto-draft documents using information from any source or the web to put together more detailed analyses than you might get otherwise. Both this and the AI meeting notes will be in beta testing when released. Finally, Notion will now offer the chance to use ChatGPT or Claude from within Notion, with no additional fee. The company is keen to point out that a combination of the tools it offers can rack up to hundreds of dollars each month, but that the all-in-one pricing on offer here is $30 per month.

Notion AI can transcribe conversations and write reports, but it'll cost you
Notion is coming for On Tuesday, the company announced an update for Notion AI, the suite of generative AI features available through its popular note-taking app. Among the new tools included in the package is AI Meeting Notes, a feature that can transcribe and summarize any conversation directly within Notion. No need to turn to dedicated software like the aforementioned If you use Notion Calendar, your meeting notifications will include the option to start an AI Meeting Note page. Alternatively, you can write "/meeting" to add a transcription block to an existing note. Any conversation Notion AI transcribes for you is searchable through the app, and you can add what you get to any of your projects. Speaking of search, you can now use Notion AI to comb through a number of different productivity apps, including Slack, Google Workspace and Github. As long as you've connected those platforms to Notion, the app can resolve natural language queries, like, "What's the latest on our upcoming brand campaign?" and sort results by source. Separately, Notion is adding a Research Mode. Similar to Deep Research modes from Google and OpenAI, you can ask Notion's built-in AI to write reports for you. The difference here being that Notion AI will pull information from your projects, in addition to what it finds online. The company is pitching this as a real time-saver. "Create project updates, research reports, and internal best practices in minutes with one prompt," Notion says. "We've already seen this save days worth of time." To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. Last but not least, if you would rather prompt with GPT-4.1 or Claude 3.7 than Notion's own chatbot, you can now do that directly within the app courtesy of a new model picker. OpenAI and Anthropic's models won't have access to your workspace data, but they're there for users who prefer their responses for general questions and in case you want to turn to a reasoning system in the form of Claude 3.7 Sonnet. As part of today's announcement, Notion is changing how it bills for its AI features. Instead of a separate $10 per month plan, unlimited access to Notion AI is now part of the company's Business plan, which is increasing from $15 per month and per member to $30 per month and per member. Notion's justification for the increase is that it's giving users access to several different tools, including GPT-4.1 and Claude 3.7, for the price of an all-in-one package. Of course, it's not quite a one-to-one comparison. For example, if you decide to skip out on ChatGPT Plus, you miss out on expanded limits on Advanced Voice mode and Deep Research. Still, for Notion users that might be a tradeoff well worth making. If you're a current Notion AI subscriber, you'll keep access to all the AI features you had before today's announcement. For Free and Plus users, you get limited trial access to all the new features. If you buy something through a link in this article, we may earn commission.

How AI Time Management Can Boost Productivity and Save Hours
Here's how to use AI to better manage your time You're busy, but are you productive? Most business owners spend their days responding to emails, handling admin, and putting out fires. They finish each day exhausted but unsure what they actually accomplished. They blame a lack of time when the real problem is how they're using it. Successful leaders focus solely on high-impact activities and find ways to eliminate, delegate, or automate everything else. With AI, you now have a powerful ally that can take over many time-consuming tasks that previously ate up your day. The right AI tools can transform how you spend your hours and minutes, turning ordinary days into extraordinary progress. Time management becomes your superpower when you use AI to make every minute count. AI excels at handling routine admin work that drains your energy and focus. Top performers use technology to sort emails, schedule meetings, and organize calendars. This frees them to spend time on strategic thinking and high-level decisions that actually move the needle in their business and create lasting results. Take inventory of repetitive tasks that consume your week. Customer follow-ups? Meeting notes? Data entry? Tools like ChatGPT, Notion AI, and Zapier with AI capabilities can handle these faster and often better than you can. Teach them your process once, then let them work while you focus on growing your business. Content creation eats hours of your week. Between writing emails, social posts, and marketing materials, you might spend entire days just producing words. AI can change this completely, giving you back time you never thought you'd have for the work that truly matters. Ask Claude or ChatGPT to generate first drafts of your emails, blog posts, or social content based on your ideas. Jasper AI and specialize in marketing content. You'll still need to edit and personalize, but starting with something beats staring at a blank page. Many top creators now produce 10x more content with AI handling the heavy lifting. Copy this prompt into ChatGPT for a quick first draft: 'Ask me questions about challenges I have overcome, then write a LinkedIn post about [topic] that includes a challenge story, key insight, and call to action in under 200 words.' Information overload kills productivity. Reports, market research, and competitor analysis all demand your attention but reading everything thoroughly seems impossible in the limited hours of your day, especially when you're running between meetings and managing a team. Tools like Summari, and even Microsoft Copilot can read and summarize lengthy documents in seconds, extracting the key points you actually need. Busy executives use these AI solutions to digest board reports, customer feedback, and industry news, helping them stay informed without spending hours reading through material that may not be relevant to immediate decisions. Try this prompt in ChatGPT to get started: 'Here's a quarterly report from my company. Summarize the key findings, metrics, and action items in bullet point format.' Meetings dominate calendars but preparation often gets rushed. AI assistants like Cogram, and Motion can transform your approach by analyzing attendee backgrounds, creating agendas, and preparing talking points, ensuring you walk in confident and ready to lead meaningful discussions. Before your next important meeting, have these AI tools do the prep. Get confidence and clarity without the time outlay, make the meeting itself more productive and often shorter, and benefit everyone involved. Try this prompt in ChatGPT: "I have a meeting tomorrow with [names/roles of attendees] about [topic]. Create a meeting agenda with talking points and 3 strategic questions I should ask based on our goals of [specific objectives]." Grand visions often stall because they feel overwhelming. AI excels at breaking complex projects into manageable chunks with clear deadlines, creating a roadmap that feels achievable not just aspirational, and keeping momentum flowing when motivation dips. Share your big goal with task management AI like Todoist, ClickUp's AI features, or Asana's workflow builder, and ask for a step-by-step plan. Whether launching a product, writing a book, or scaling your team, these tools can create a roadmap that turns your vision into achievable milestones. Business leaders use this approach to juggle multiple ventures while maintaining progress on each front. Use ChatGPT with this specific prompt: "My goal is to [specific goal]. Create a detailed project plan with 5 major milestones, each broken down into actionable tasks that would take 1-2 hours to complete. Include suggested timeframes and dependencies.' Begin with one area where you waste the most time. Maybe it's email management, social content creation, or meeting preparation. Choose an AI tool designed for that specific need and integrate it into your workflow. The key is consistency. Use AI daily for small tasks until it becomes second nature. Then gradually expand to other areas of your business. Within weeks, you'll reclaim hours you never knew you were losing. Founders save significant time per week after implementing AI tools properly. That's nearly two full workdays you can redirect toward strategic thinking, relationship building, or simply having a life outside your business. Your scarcest resource is time. Every minute spent on low-impact tasks is a minute not spent on growth, innovation, or rest. AI won't replace your judgment, creativity, or leadership, but it can handle the routine tasks that currently consume your day. The winners in tomorrow's economy will be those who leverage AI most effectively to focus on what truly matters. Start small, stay consistent, and watch as AI transforms your productivity and your entire relationship with time.
