Using Notion AI to Save 12+ Hours of Work

I've used Notion for years – to organize my business, life, and creative outputs – but it's only recently that I started using it as an active part of my distillation processes. Notion AI helps save me hours whenever I need to refine or transform my notetaking work into actionable resources.

Thank you to Notion for sponsoring this video!

Doesn't this guy look like a skinner version of Elon Musk?

[dannyquiroz]

Less than 2 minutes in and this guy provided so much value just by demonstrating his use case, a use case so many of us copious note takers have engaged in for years.

WOW!!! This is really helping me to make decisions regarding how to create my 2nd Brain. (Work in progress: Reading the book and making gradual changes during 30 days to ensure that I am following my intuition)

I'm reading your book and I'm astonished by the way you simplify the process of accumulating knowledge 💡
Love the book so far

[DannyHatcherTech]

My main question here: how do you (if you do) quality check the work?

[lucianacasais]

I am very happy that you are going to release "The Second Brain" in Portuguese. I already have it in English, but I prefer it in my native language

[zubairahmad]

Thank you, sir!
Your methodologies solved my really big problems. I had confusions for years about digital notes.
Keep it up!

Thank you! Love your book and videos, the calm clear presentation of them. First discovered you on Ali’s book review channel . Enjoy your beautiful little family and thank you for all your sharing :)

I haven't tried using AI before, but after watching this video I had to give it a try. I asked it to give me an outline on a topic that's just an "idea card" for a blog post in Notion, looks promising so far 😅

@Tiago Forte ... this is the biggest challenge with AI ... how do you know the summary is correct ? You don't ... not unless you understand the source material. In your case with this example it was useful because you had knowledge and you needed help to create a summary. How many individuals will fall into the trap of depending on AI as a substitute for knowledge they don't possess.

I knew procrastinating as long as I have been would finally pay off.
I'll let AI do the tedious work I never found time for.

Awesome tips my friend!
I'm Brazilian. I'm so happy to know you're releasing your book here in Brazil. We're lacking this kind of content here. Some days ago I recommended your content to my boss, but no one here knows how to speak English, and there's nothing in Portuguese about that. I have translation skills and I'd love to work with you in this project. If you want to talk more about that please let me know.

Ive started using notion to take notes on books I'm reading. This is going to become extremely useful. Thanks!

[denyskonshyn]

Thank you for your video. I have a question. Is there a reason why you prefer taking notes manually instead of using AI-powered tools to summarize the book by chapter or page and then select the most valuable information?

[renanfuzita]

Eu estava mesmo procurando saber mais sobre a AI do Notion. Muito bom. Seria muito legal ver mais conteudo sobre a AI do Notion.

[renatasabo]

Simplesmente Notion já era nota 10, agora ficou nota 1000!!! Vc Tiago é também nota 10; agora com seu livro em portugues, ficará nota 1000!!! Adorei esse video. Sou sua seguidora há bastante tempo. Obrigada por tudo que me ensina. Today I wrote, on purpose in Portuguese. Sorry about that

[Malemediamind]

Building A Second Brain was a game changer for me in my content creation I'm going to have to look more into Notion AI

[Faz_Plays]

Hey Tiago, I absolute love your methods and I was wondering if there were any other tools to take notes from audio books? I currently use the method you mention in this video by just jotting down a quick note in an app, but sometimes I'm cooking, cleaning, or doing other random things that make it difficult to take notes while I'm listening. I have defaulted to writing down a quick timestamp on a post-it so I can go back and take a proper note later, but that's messy and wastes a lot of time backtracking. Also... I sometimes lose the notes. Please share any advice you may have!

[shuhuimok]

Thanks for sharing this ! What i need is videos like this that shows how to use AI to speed up our work.

[josimarcastro]

Sem medo de compartilhar a maneira mais fácil de fazer um trabalho de décadas, obrigado Tiago!
