In one line: Notion keeps your notes, docs, task lists and databases in one place, and its Notion Agent can take a job from start to finish inside that workspace (drafting a page, building a task tracker, summarizing a meeting), with a free plan that's generous for one person but only includes a limited trial of the AI, which starts for real at $20 per member a month billed yearly.
What it is
Most people know Notion as the app for notes, wikis and to-do lists. What's changed is the AI built into it. Notion Agent is a chat you open inside your workspace, and instead of just answering, it does the work: Notion says it can create and edit pages, databases and charts for you, using what's already in your workspace and, if you connect them, apps like Slack and Google Drive. You can also select text on any page and choose Edit with AI to summarize, translate, fix grammar, change the tone or turn rough notes into an outline. Autofill fills in database columns (summaries, keywords) for every row, and you can upload a file in the chat and get back a spreadsheet, PDF or slide deck. The Business plan unlocks full use of AI Meeting Notes (beta), which transcribes and summarizes calls with no bot joining, Enterprise Search across your connected apps and Research Mode for longer reports, plus Custom Agents that run on a schedule or trigger, like answering questions in Slack or sharing project updates. Notion says it doesn't train on your data unless you opt in, and its AI providers keep data for 30 days outside the Enterprise plan.
Who it's for
Freelancers, small teams and anyone whose notes, plans and to-dos are scattered across docs, sticky notes and email. If you already live in Notion, the AI saves you the busywork of turning notes into something organized. It's less useful if you only want meeting notes (Granola, issue #1, does that without moving your whole workspace) or answers grounded in your own uploaded sources (Gemini Notebook, issue #6).
Try this today
Go to notion.com and sign up for free. Your AI trial is limited and Notion doesn't say how many responses you get, so spend it on something you'd actually use. Paste in a messy list, like last week's meeting notes or a brain dump of everything on your plate, then open Notion AI (shift + cmd/ctrl + J) and ask: "Turn this into a task database with an owner, a due date and a priority for each item, and add a short summary at the top." Check what it built, then fix it by hand instead of hitting Try again, since every Try again counts as another AI response. If the result saves you real time, that's your signal the Business plan might be worth it.
The catch
The AI isn't really free, and it isn't on Plus either. Free and Plus both come with a limited number of complimentary AI responses, and once they're used up, Notion asks you to upgrade to Business or Enterprise to keep using AI. Paying for Plus doesn't bring it back. Every AI action counts as a response, including each Try again. Business includes 1,500 Standard credits a month per member (for work where Notion picks the model) and 500 Select credits (when you pick the model, and for Custom Agents you own). Beyond that, extra usage runs on Notion credits, and Custom Agents are free to try, then $10 per 1,000 Notion credits. Pricing is per member, so a team of five on Business is five seats. The free plan has its own limits too: uploads up to 5 MB per file, 7 days of page history, 10 guests, and a limited number of blocks once a second member joins the workspace.
Pricing
Free: $0, with a trial of Notion AI, basic forms and sites, Notion Calendar, databases, file uploads up to 5 MB and 7 days of page history (unlimited blocks if you're the only member). Plus: $10 per member a month billed yearly, or $12 a month billed monthly, with custom forms and sites, charts, uploads up to 5 GB and 30 days of page history, but still only a trial of Notion AI. Plus is free for students and educators with a school email (1-member limit). Business: $20 per member a month billed yearly, or $24 a month billed monthly, with Notion Agent, Custom Agents, AI Meeting Notes, Enterprise Search (beta), SAML SSO, private teamspaces, 90 days of page history, and 1,500 Standard plus 500 Select AI credits per member a month. Enterprise: custom pricing, adding zero data retention with AI providers, SCIM and audit logs. Custom Agents beyond the free try cost $10 per 1,000 Notion credits. Prices are in USD.
