The Future is Here: Exploring Notion AI

Hi everyone; I’m Lori Ballen, a digital marketer. I recently came across a video about Notion AI, which is a new alpha program that adds text generation and other AI features to your Notion workspace.

The video showcases 10 examples of what it can do, from outlining blog posts and writing pros and cons lists to even writing working programming code based on a text prompt that you give it.

I found this video interesting and decided to feature it on my blog because it showcases how AI technology can be integrated into productivity tools like Notion to make workflows more efficient and effective. The video provides helpful tips and insights for using Notion AI and answers frequently asked questions about data privacy and usage.

As a digital marketer, I’m always interested in learning new tools and technologies to enhance my work. I think my audience will find this video informative and useful.

Here are Ten Examples of Using Notion AI

1. Outlining a blog post: The Notion AI can help you generate an outline for your blog post by simply typing in a prompt. For example, if you type in “What is GTD and how can I use it?” the AI will generate a decent outline with correct steps and information.
2. Generating lists: The AI can also help you generate lists of various things, such as “10 Best Super Nintendo games.” You can use this feature to quickly create comprehensive lists for topics you might not know much about.
3. Creating comparison tables: The AI can generate comparison tables to help you compare different options. For example, you can create a table comparing mountain bikes, road bikes, and unicycles, and the AI will fill in the relevant information.
4. Adding more detail: The AI has a “Continue Writing” feature that allows you to add more detail to your work. This can be useful for getting more information on a specific topic.
5. Fixing grammar and spelling: The AI can help you fix poor grammar and spelling in your writing. Simply highlight the text with errors and choose the “Fix spelling and grammar” option from the AI menu.
6. Translations: The AI can translate text to other languages and even perform roundtripping translations. For example, you can translate a sentence into Spanish, then back to English, to see how accurate the AI is.
7. Writing programming code: The AI can help you write programming code based on a text prompt. For example, you can give it a prompt to get information from the PokeAPI and it will generate working code in JavaScript for you.
8. Answering complex questions: The AI can answer complex questions, such as calculating the surface area of a sphere with a radius of 20. However, the accuracy of the answer may vary depending on the complexity of the question.
9. Summarizing long text: The AI can help you summarize long pieces of text, such as an article or section of a document. You can even summarize specific sections by selecting the text you want to summarize.
10. Providing information on the fly: The AI can quickly provide information on the fly, such as answering a question like “Who won the 2018 US Open Men’s Division?” This can save you time and help you stay focused on your work.

Overall, the Notion AI can be a powerful tool for improving productivity and efficiency in various tasks, from writing and outlining to programming and research.
