“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.

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.

I love the customization it offers. For example, you can insert a page within a page, and you can get a link to each one that you can copy and use as an anchor/attachment in other notes. It also provides very useful formatting tools. As a developer, the ability to mark certain text as code or even insert code blocks specific to the language it's coded in is a must-have. Makes everything very neat and easy to understand as you're going back and reading it. Also, the ability to create organizations and share notes amongst your team members or other teams within your organization comes very handy for knowledge sharing purposes. Lastly, you can add your own custom emojis or icons for your notes for better organization and visibility.

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

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

Dislike

The search functionality could be a bit better. Oftentimes, I like to search for certain keywords to find what I'm looking for amongst the numerous pages and folders of notes that I have. Unfortunately, it doesn't always find it at first, especially if that text is formatted a certain way, such as within a code block. Also, the free plan storage that is given to you can run out pretty fast if you take a lot of notes which leads you to have to add yet another subscription.

    As an early-stage startup, our overall experience with Notion has been positive overall. It gives us a very flexible place to centralize our documentation, planning, and internal processes.

    Powerful Features Enhance Efficiency in Notion but Some Tools Remain Underused

    5.0
    Aug 6, 2025
    I'm really enjoying Notion. It's become a daily, essential part of how I stay organized and collaborate with my team. Everything lives in one place and I can easily link documents, notes, tasks, add comments, etc. The built-in AI tools are super useful and incredibly powerful; they allow you to create tables, flowcharts, reword sentences and paragraphs. Beyond these features, there's also the ability to customize individual pages for your team or department and stay focused on goals and commitments.
