What is Notion?
Notion is a workspace product from Notion Labs, Inc. that combines pages, databases and collaboration tools. Content is built from blocks such as paragraphs, checklists and embeds, and databases support subtasks, dependencies, custom properties, charts, forms and dashboards. Pages can be published to the web as simple sites, and a calendar product connects several calendars. The AI side is organised around three jobs: capturing knowledge, finding answers with citations, and automating tasks. Notion Agent carries out multi-step work using context from the workspace, connected apps and the web; AI Meeting Notes transcribes and summarises meetings without a bot joining; Enterprise Search looks across tools like Slack, Microsoft Teams and GitHub; and Custom Agents run recurring tasks on their own, paid for with Notion credits. A developer platform adds a public API, webhooks, a CLI and Workers for custom code.
