“Organizing Knowledge Efficiently With Notion’s Built-In AI Tools and Features”

5.0
Sep 29, 2025
Notion is such a simple yet brilliant tool to organize knowledge. I use Notion as a knowledge sharing tool in the organization I work for, a task tracker to keep my to-do lists up to date, to share project status updates, create databases for recruitment tracking, create 'how-tos' on how to handle system updates with step by step screenshots/details and for almost anything that requires documentation. Whenever I need an answer to something I want to look up, the AI search helps me find what I need so quickly and it shares the referencing the documents so I can click on them and read them up for even more context. Our company policies, company related information and department level knowledge is all on Notion which helps us keep everything in one centralized database with an AI search that helps us get the answers we need quickly and easily. As a new hire, it was so easy for me to find the answers to a lot of the questions I had with the documentation on Notion. This helped me fast track my learning within the first few weeks and identify gaps within the knowledge base so I could help update it for the team.

Notion Likes & Dislikes

Like

1. AI search helps us identify answers quickly and the AI tool helps create/ organize content the way we want in such a short time. 2. Ability to keep knowledge centralized within the organization in such an organized manner so everyone has access to this content. This especially helps new hires get up to speed with onboarding documentation that we keep in Notion. 3. Ability to take notes when in meetings, which is a relatively new and great feature. 4. Notion recently launched Notion 3.0 and the Notion agent helps create content, add new tasks to a list, and add information to databases very quickly and easily! 5. Ability to keep certain pages private where I can note down my own learnings and also have shared pages with others when having discussions which increases personal productivity. 6. Ability to use templates when wanting to create a database or a tracker helps save so much time. 7. Ability to create SOPs and checklists within the organization and keep them centralized for easy access which drives efficiency. 8. Ability to collaborate with others in the organization, especially when brainstorming on projects. 9. Cost effective as it's an all in one tool - knowledge hub note taking tool personal journal database holder productivity partner. 10. Notion now works offline too!! This is super helpful to still jot down notes/ thoughts even when you're on the go.

Like

Its easy to add people to the platform and also allows them to add their notes and categories them

Like

The flexibility of its databases for building and maintaining product roadmaps, the ability to easily link related pages and create a true knowledge base, and the way notes, documentation, and reference materials can live together in one centralized, searchable workspace.

Dislike

When working with larger databases, the performance tends to be slower. Also, new users might take some time to get used to the product.

Dislike

It's a bit messy in the UI and sometimes a bit to many option for layout so it looks messy

Dislike

There's a learning curve for setting up and maintaining more complex databases, occasional performance issues with large or highly linked workspaces, and the mobile app experience can feel limited and clunky compared to the desktop version.

    Centralized Knowledge Base and Organization Features Stand Out in Notion Workspace

    5.0
    Feb 2, 2026
    Notion has become a core tool for our team's day-to-day work. We rely on it for note taking, maintaining reference files, and organizing product roadmaps through its database functionality. It works especially well as a centralized knowledge base, making it easy to link documents and point team members to a single source of truth. While more complex setups can have a learning curve and occasional performance issues, it's an invaluable tool for keeping our work organized and accessible.

    I love this product. Not only does it allow for cross-team collaboration by sharing various notes amongst your organization, but it's very customizable as well to keep your notes as neat and organized as you want.

    Flexible Collaboration Enhancing Communication Knowledge Sharing

    Feb 9, 2026
    From a community engagement standpoint, this is a great collaboration tool that manages all of our community documentation. I feel that it is underrated since it does more than this. For instance, my team uses it for making communication notes, developing project workflows, creating community guidelines and organizing technical knowledge bases. It also helps with engagement planning and it supports our available resources. My overall experience; it is an adaptable and efficient tool
