Notion on X

The largest group, 35 people, treats Notion as where agents keep their work: a "source of truth" for a Grok Bot chief of staff, a workspace where every model logs its sessions, a "context backpack" any AI can plug into. Several say their notes already live in Notion, and that having agents read them directly, instead of copy-pasting, is the part they care about.

Praise for the product itself is close behind at 34 people: note taking, meeting notes that capture the other side of a call, and the second-brain framing. 15 people single out the rebuilt native iPad and phone app, with foldables and side-by-side panes named as the win.

18 people are unconvinced: the AI push placed where they least need it, more workspace to scroll the same apps, one calling it the biggest procrastination app. 9 people like it but raise a rough edge, and 6 long-time users say it now favours teams over individuals.

The largest group, 11 people, reports things that break: an app "practically useless" with no internet, a phone keyboard covering the delete option, call audio from other apps not captured, tab spaces lost in an update, a scrollbar running through blocks.

8 people run into AI credits. One long-time Business user says meeting notes start drawing credits on December 1 and 10 credits a meeting won't cover their calendar, so they moved meeting notes to Granola; others say you should be able to plan a working day without "reverse engineering the credit system". Connected to that, 4 people object that picking your own model now draws from a smaller pool than letting Notion choose, calling it less freedom at the same price.

Smaller groups name other costs: 5 people find it slow, one calling it the slowest app to launch on their Mac; 4 say it is too expensive for individuals, citing $240 a year and no convenient individual plan; 4 say the AI button has buried search.

The largest group, 5 people, asks why a workspace should hold what a folder of markdown files could: one asks why tie yourself to an ecosystem "when there is nothing much to gain", another says raw text worked until the data got key-value heavy. People put the other side too: if your context already sits in Notion, running files alongside is doing the work twice.

The rest is one or two people per tool. Granola draws the meeting-notes user who objects to per-meeting credits. AppFlowy draws people who self-host it and call cloning Notion "wrestling a beast" for the control it buys. Asana and Basecamp come up as simpler places for project work, AFFiNE for its page-to-canvas flow, with people moving in both directions. One moved to a Supabase table, another to a tool they built.

Some of the switching runs toward Notion: off Apple Notes because the data needs to be reachable by AI, off AFFiNE after months on it, and one advising a colleague to ditch Asana and "just make asana in Notion".

On agents, 7 people ask for other people's setups rather than for documentation: which connector posts content, whether a shared doc agents all write to turns into "a junk drawer", whether a setup is plug and play or needs finessing, and whether bookmark capture returns the same posts every six hours.

On the app, another 7 people ask what the rebuilt editor and phone app will handle: voice dictation, Spotlight and Siri indexing, zooming text on iPad, how find-in-page behaves on pages that render as you scroll, and whether custom pages reach mobile. One frames it as whether a manager can open it at 8 a.m. and see which orders are missing measurements.

5 people ask whether AI use is capped, whether connecting your own key still draws Notion credits, and whether bots can be invited without paying per AI seat. 4 ask when Claude or Gemini access arrives and when Custom Agents are included; 4 ask for a ship date on the native app. 5 ask about single tasks: restoring a deleted page, renaming a database, connecting Drive, looping audio.

The mobile ask, 4 people, is for the rebuilt app on Android tablets and folding phones — one wants iPad to open unfolded like a Galaxy Z Fold, another asks for iPhone Duo compatibility before it is announced.

Calendar, 4 people, is the most-reached request: do the same for Notion Calendar on iPad, and add the one-month view the Google Calendar app has.

Agent oversight, 4 people, asks to see when an agent edited a page, to jump straight to the before and after, and to undo an agent's edits "without losing the human ones".

Handwriting, 3 people, wants Apple Pencil or pen writing on iPad instead of typing, plus dictation inside pages, one because they can only type with one hand.

The rest is one person each: tabs in the iPad app, larger text and zoom, hiding the sidebar, a free individual plan with AI, one command center to dispatch agents, and interface support for Ukrainian.
