Step-by-step
How to Use Notion AI
Enable Notion AI
Notion AI is an add-on at $10/member/month. Go to Settings & Members > Plans to add it. Once enabled, AI features appear throughout the workspace — in the editor, databases, and search.
Use AI in the editor
Press Space on an empty line or select text and click 'Ask AI'. Options include: write a draft, summarize, translate, fix grammar, make longer/shorter, change tone, and explain. AI generates content inline that you can edit or discard.
Summarize and extract from pages
On any page, use AI to summarize long documents, extract action items from meeting notes, create a table of key points, or generate a TLDR. This is especially powerful for long wiki pages and meeting transcripts.
Use AI in databases
Add an AI-powered property to databases. AI can auto-fill summaries, extract keywords, categorize entries, or generate custom fields based on page content. Configure the AI prompt per property.
Ask questions about your workspace
Use Notion AI search (Cmd+J) to ask natural language questions about your workspace content: 'What was decided in last week's product meeting?' or 'What's the status of the Q2 roadmap?' AI searches across all accessible pages.
