What is Notion?

Notion is a workspace that combines documents, wikis, databases and project tracking in one tool. Its AI features cover writing assistance, summarisation, and - on the paid plans - connected search that answers questions from your own workspace pages and linked sources rather than the open web. Teams adopt it because the same blocks can hold a meeting note, a task database and a public page, so there is one place to look. The AI is an optional paid layer, not something included with the free personal plan.

FAQ

Is Notion AI included in the free plan?

No. Writing assistance and connected workspace search are part of paid plans or sold as an add-on, depending on your plan. The free personal plan covers documents and databases without AI.

What is connected search?

On paid plans, AI can answer questions using your Notion pages plus connected sources like Slack and Google Drive. Answers cite the pages they used, which makes them easier to verify.

Can Notion replace a project tool?

For many small and mid-size teams, yes. Databases with views, relations and automations cover task tracking, though very large projects may still want a dedicated tool.
