What is Notion AI?
Notion AI is an advanced AI tool built into the Notion workspace platform. It combines the power of GPT-4, Claude, and other models to deliver smart, context-aware support directly within your workspace. More than just an answer engine, Notion AI acts as your AI chatbot, writing assistant, and intelligent search engine all in one.
How Notion AI Can Be Used:
- Writing support: Draft essays, improve clarity, and refine tone
- Research and summarizing: Condense long texts or explore topics
- Brainstorming: Generate ideas and outlines for academic projects
- Smart search: Find information across Notion, Slack, and Google Drive
- Daily productivity: Automate simple tasks and enhance organization
Where to Find Notion AI:
- Click the circular AI icon in the bottom-right corner of any Notion page

Prompt Rules and Recommendations:
- Be clear and specific (e.g., “Summarize this article for a college paper”)
- Give context (e.g., subject area or tone) for more accurate responses
- Always review content for accuracy and academic standards
- Avoid relying on AI for final drafts—use it as a supportive tool
When to Cite Notion AI:
Getting answers is great—but what you really need are insights tailored to your work and a helping hand with easy tasks. That’s where Notion AI shines. Whether you're writing, researching, or problem-solving, Notion AI helps you do more in less time. Cite Notion AI when its specific output appears in your academic work; no citation is needed if it only helps improve your own ideas or writing.
- Cite it when you use AI-generated summaries, paraphrasing, or unique phrasing directly in your work
- Do not cite it if it's only used for grammar help, formatting, or brainstorming without including its exact output
