Notion AI

Notion AI is an assistant built directly into the Notion workspace, so it works on the same pages, databases, and docs you already use rather than living in a separate app. Notion's product page describes it as a layer across the whole product: it can draft and edit writing, answer questions about your workspace, transcribe and summarize meetings, set up and autofill databases, translate text, and analyze PDFs.

The feature set centers on a few named tools. Notion Agent handles open-ended requests across your workspace. AI Meeting Notes transcribes and summarizes meetings. Enterprise Search extends search beyond Notion to connected apps through integrations. Research Mode pulls together sources for longer answers, while Database Autofill and Database Setup fill in properties or build a database from a description. AI Writing covers drafting, editing, and translation inside any page.

Pricing ties AI usage to plan level. Free and Plus plans include limited trial usage of Notion AI, while Business and Enterprise include it as part of the plan — Business is listed at $20 per member per month, with custom pricing for Enterprise. Notion describes Free as for individuals, Plus for small teams, Business for growing companies, and Enterprise for large organizations that need advanced controls and security. Offline access to pages is available on supported plans.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Notion AI cost?

Free and Plus plans include limited trial usage. Business, at $20 per member per month, and Enterprise include Notion AI in the plan. The product page doesn't list a separate standalone add-on price.

Do I need to install anything to use it?

No — it's built into the Notion workspace. The product page shows web availability, and Notion mentions offline use in its app release notes, but the page itself doesn't detail desktop or mobile installs.

Can it search outside Notion?

Yes. Enterprise Search covers connected apps through integrations, so results can include content from tools you've linked to your workspace.

What can it do with databases?

It can autofill database properties and set up new databases, so fields like summaries or categories can be filled in automatically.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Notion's Free plan is aimed at individuals and includes limited AI trial usage, but full Notion AI usage requires the Business or Enterprise plan.

Does it work offline?

Notion mentions offline access to pages on supported plans. The product page doesn't specify how AI features behave without a connection.
