Notion Labs, the makers of note-taking and productivity app Notion, have announced the full launch of its new AI model built to assist writers and help automate routine tasks.

Called Notion AI, the model was in testing since November last year, and has now been made available for everyone to try for free in a limited capacity. There will be a cap on the conversations for free users, and Notion will offer subscription plans to increase that limit.

The AI model is designed to help simplify routine tasks like generating a summary from messy notes. It can also help you improve your writing skills, and assist in drafting proposals or even just listing the pros and cons of a decision you might be making.

Notion said that during testing they found that most people interacted with the model by "highlighting existing text and asking AI for help."

This suggested "that most people start by writing their own content, and treat AI as a thought partner and editor".

Based on the feedback, Notion completely redesigned the system and pivoted the model to augment "human intellect," and not replace it.

The new interface allows users to interact with words, "giving you follow-up prompts until you’re satisfied with the result. Notion AI is useful for authoring new content—but it will also summarize long documents, extract key learnings from messy notes, improve your writing style, and much more."
