Notion AI search is more powerful than traditional search because it understands context and can synthesize information across multiple connected apps
- Three main use cases for AI search:
- Process questions — helps new employees quickly locate important information about company policies, procedures, and workflows without having to ask colleagues
- Project questions — enables you to gather context from multiple sources like Slack, Google Drive, and GitHub to get a complete picture of project status and requirements
- Quick recall — instantly surfaces specific information like stats from past presentations or details from meeting notes, saving time spent searching through files
- Setting up AI search requires either connecting external apps like Slack, Google Drive, GitHub, and Jira or importing information directly into Notion
- The source picker allows users to narrow down search results to specific apps or areas, making it easier to find relevant information
- AI search respects existing permissions, provides citations to sources, and eliminates the need to interrupt colleagues for basic information
