What It Does
Notion is a workspace that combines notes, documents, databases, wikis, and project boards. Notion AI adds an inline assistant that can summarise pages, generate content, translate, extract action items from meeting notes, and answer questions about your workspace. Because it understands your workspace structure, it can pull information across pages—"What were the key decisions from last month's project meetings?"
