Notion isn’t an AI startup. They’re a startup with some AI feature. There’s a difference.

The founder referred to Notion as an "Augmentation Intellect" (A.I.) app in this vid.

I just started using Notion a couple weeks ago and have been really impressed by the flexibility and customization. I'm planning a trip with it now and it's a night and day difference compared to similar projects using Google Docs. So much more flexible and smooth

Been using Notion since 2018. What I really appreciate from Notion: modularity, scalability, and the ease of integrating various things into it.

Great interview. I've been running Notion and Notion Calendar for about a month now, and I love it.

Notion is king, I can't picture my design and research planning without it.

Really impressed by his depth of knowledge and anecdotes in English. He must be a phenomenal motivator in his native language.

Brilliant in many ways, I already have respect for this dude, keep it up!

Notion has impacted hugely in life for this year thank you for making this app.

please make it faster

Notion made itself so useful it's starting to be unimaginable to live without it

i stopped using notion, cuz the amount of time you spend customizing it is way too much

This varies from person to person, you may need to review things like productive procrastination and discipline. I say this because I also suffer from too much personalization. The answer is to find the discipline.

Notion is amazing 🎉

저는 notion이 영어버전일때부터 사용했는데 그때는 너무 어려웠어요. 한국 사용자를 위해서 한국어 버젼을 👍👍빠르게 만들어줘서 아주 쉽게 사용할 수 있었어요 그래서 지금까지도 노션이 유료이긴 하지만 지금도 사용하고 있고 seoul에 있는 회사에서는 대부분 notion 을 사용합니다 . notion 최고 !! ❤❤

Epic answers 😮👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥

DnD world building with notion is awesome

Notion taking over google does not surprise me at all, it is extremely user friendly and versatile.

Casually humble brag wifey is a VC I see

Notion is amazing, but their MacOS app is slow on Intel macs (not sure about M series ones). The team might even know about this. Hope it doesn't become another Slack. Probably will use it anyway, but will surely appreciate the speed. 🙏🏽

I agree. It's performance, for me on a M1 macbook, is also the biggest bummer. Is it 'slow'? Not really, but for sure not fast. Lots of tiny delays are just harming the overall experience and make me not enjoying it

Notion is great. Recently, I've been more drawn to Capacities though.

Notion's journey from near bankruptcy to becoming a tool that enhances both work and personal productivity is truly remarkable. Its flexibility, inspired by the simplicity of paper, shows how tools that adapt to user needs drive innovation and engagement. 👍

Thanks to Notion, we've crafted a tutorial on enhancing a database to boost AI prompts. It's incredibly user-friendly. Notion has the potential to become one of the next big companies globally.

Ivan Zhao is a breath of fresh air amongst tech CEOs. He has some of that Bruce Lee profoundness and insight (Not because he is East Asian and North American; don't come for me in the comments☺); I'm sure others can sense it as well. I like the way he speaks too because he did not try to fit and change his voice to sound like everyone else. Authentic and true. Notion is a great product too but as everyone says in the comments, it would be nice if they could make it faster 😉.

Great interview and interesting answers

AI startup?!? The application has AI features, but that's it.

9:44 - 10:30 note this guys! cheers to all fellow techies

Using a screen reader, I wasn't even able to begin editing because focus wouldn't move to the confirmation modal. Not to mention all of the other problems. I love the idealistic paper metaphor, but until the product is accessible, it won't compare. At present, Notion is not built for everyone.

He started to talk exactly like Elisabeth Holmes and Sam Bankman-Fried!

I have found google docs and sheet to be sufficient for my workflow.

I hope Notion keeps on being successful. All the features it has makes it truly unique and can't go back to google or microsoft...

I'm a freelance writer and I want to use Notion but it's too much. Too many templates, too much going on. I'd waste my life making things pretty than actually working.

10B valuation for a "productivity" software (really a notes manager), while being so slow and clunky. I personally use Linear which is sooo much more pleasant to use, but it's obviously a more focused tool as well.

Interviewer needs to stop saying uhh

Obsidian gang

Notion is getting too complicated to use as a daily note-taking app. And the still very slow. Moving back to Evernote.

sooooo docs, ok got it

This guy literally is an asset. Sad that he can hide from this.

Obsidian is way better

I really don't understand this app and the hype behind it. That said, they do good marketing, full of influencers

Notion is a notes app on steroids

Psst, Notion requires employees to Return to Office! No thanks!

However Coda is more flexible and the strongest competitor for Notion.
