How Notion AI Helps
Notion AI lives directly inside your pages and databases. Prompts are instructions that act on selected text or whole pages. For SOPs, meeting notes, and knowledge bases, Notion recommends using AI to summarize, rewrite, generate drafts, and answer questions.

- Use structured instructions: tell AI exactly what sections and format you want
- Iterate with AI: use follow-up prompts to improve, refine, or expand
- Maintain formatting: AI preserves headings and structure when you ask
- Batch with databases: use Ask AI across multiple linked pages for consistency
