Hey there,

Notion AI turns your existing workspace into a built-in writing and search assistant.

It summarizes docs, converts meeting notes into tasks, and lets you ask questions instead of digging through pages.

What could your team ship faster if answers lived in one place?

Visit website here »

Notion AI lives inside your Notion workspace and helps you write, summarize, translate, and search across docs and pages without leaving the app.

Best for

• Teams already using Notion as a wiki or docs hub

• Solo builders who want writing + knowledge in one place

How to use it

• Summarize long docs into 5–10 bullets

• Turn messy meeting notes into tasks with owners and deadlines

• Use Q&A to ask “Where did we decide X?” instead of digging manually

When not to use it
If your team barely uses Notion, get key workflows into Notion first or the AI will not have enough context to be useful.

Pro tip
Create a “How We Use Notion AI” page with copy-paste prompts so the whole team actually uses it.

📚 80% Prioritize Smart Tech, but Maturity Lags. Train People to Win.

Key Takeaways:

• 📊 Priority, Not Readiness: 80% call it a business priority, yet only one in three rate their org as mature.

• 🎓 Training Moves Maturity: When training hit 7 of 10 or better, 73% labeled their org mature or very mature.

• 🚀 Production Uplift: Satisfaction with the operating model made companies almost 30% likely to ship multiple projects.

🧹 Tech Isn’t the Problem; Your Messy Files Are

UC Today argues the real blocker is content sprawl. Teams stash duplicates across SharePoint, Google Drive, Slack, and email, so assistants return fuzzy answers and stale links. The lever is disciplined data hygiene, with owners, labels, and permissions. Cleaning ROT and grounding tools in curated sources speeds search, cuts risk, and turns pilots into production results.

Key Takeaways:

• 🗂️ Tackle ROT First: Archive or delete redundant, obsolete, and trivial files. Smaller haystacks speed retrieval and reduce storage and compliance exposure.

• 🏷️ Add Clear Labels: Use plain tags, version rules, and file owners on high-impact workflows. Ban mystery acronyms and orphaned docs.

• 🔐 Tighten Access: Map permissions to roles, lock HR and finance spaces, revoke expired shares, and log who can read or export sensitive data.

• 🔌 Connect, Then Ground: Link core systems, then ground assistants in vetted sources. Bad scans and screenshots in, weak answers out.
