I had to pay for a full year of AI to get it.

The use cases that you spoke about opens up a lot of avenues. I have been using it only to summarize my book notes or, any other notes that I have been taking.. But after watching the video, I have ideas to expand my usage.. Thank you!

Muito bom ver você utilizando o Notion, Tiago. Comprei seu livro e fiquei imaginando como usar o Notion para organizar minhas anotações e pesquisar por temas específicos de forma mais simples. Com a essa IA a pesquisa de notas vai se tornar muito melhor!
Se está interessado num BASB no Notion, sem dúvida que tem que dar uma olhadela no Thomas Frank Ultimate Brain. Eu comprei e é maravilhoso para o efeito de ter um second brain no notion. Mais completo é difícil
Hello Tiago Bro 🙏, I learned a lot from you ❤ One question - Have you stopped using Evernote as second brain ? and using only Notion now ? Curious to know. Thanks !
@@TiagoForte I would love to see a video on how you more specifically use Evernote vs Notion, especially on a personal level vs team/professional. I'm just an individual user, but heavy on Evernote. Notion looks interesting, but not sure it adds value to what I do.... but always exploring and learning.
I got the yearly subscription just yesterday and up until now I cannot find the Q and A feature available. I feel a bit disappointed 😥. Could you please kindly provide with a piece of advice so that I can get that to work in my account?
Tiago, thank you so much for PARA, it‘s amazing also for neurodivergent folks. Do you have a video or tips on how to align youtube playlists with PARA? RUclips is a big source of knowledge for so many but not all videos need to go into the second brain, yet you still want them saved so you find them again. how do your playlists look like, do you use them?
Ugh, I bought an annual subscription to Evernote after reading BASB. Should I migrate before more I my notes get too unwieldy? 🤔 Any chance Evernote might be working on something similar 😭🤞🏼
You can ask a refund but Evernote's search is pretty solid. You should consider what do you use in order to make a decision: do you use handwritten notes? OCR? do you need offline mode? do you have locked notes? If you don't use none of these, I think it's a good option to migrate as soon as you consider.
@@Rapha-Aguiar Ah that’s alright. Already migrated and enjoying it. Although, it’s not really the AI features that has been making the difference for me. The UIUX just seems to suit my personal preferences a bit better. Most importantly, I’m glad the migration was mostly painless. As our knowledgebase grows in size and value, it’d suck to have it be so tethered to a specific tech service 👀.
Great Video! How about privacy? Is this AI local or does it need to send your questions and files into some cloud before presenting an answer like chatgpt does?
Hi Tiago, great video but doesn’t this leap forward in technology essentially make the treatise of organising your notes in an optimised way, outlined in Building a Second Brain irrelevant? If the AI is so good at parsing why not just keep absolutely everything in one giant note and let it do the heavy lifting? Just a thought. Thanks
Q&A can actually see the properties of your notes. If you don't want to write by hand things like "and this task is in progress now" - you still will need to use all other organizational tools just to give your AI companion enough information to work with.
I gave it the exact same prompt as you and asked what other information I had in my notes, this was it's response: I'm sorry, but I can't provide the information you're looking for. As a language AI model, I don't have access to your personal files or notes. I can only generate responses based on the information you provide in the document, selection, and instructions sections.
I understand the financial incentive for accepting Notion as a sponsor for this video, but it does undermine the credibility. Would you really send that set of bulletpoints to the festival organizer?
Absolutely useless tool. Clicking the ''ask AI'', you can't even use the Q&A feature. If you click the Q&A button in the bottom of the screen, then you can't select text to ask it from. I literally could not get it to do one useful thing. Even if I did what you did in the video it still doesn't work. Utter trash.

Never clicked on a video so fast in my life
😭
Next time watch it at 1.75X speed
As a student I could use this to run interval revision tests on my own notes. Thinking about picking this up.
Your videos are nicely-produced, well-organized, and very informative. Thank you! (subscribed!)

I noticed the template you have built for yourself. Is it possible to download this or is it for sale somewhere?
Ok, I was waiting for this. Lets test it today!

Their AI works great with my budgeting spreadsheet!
From the moment you pay for Notion AI, how long do you have to wait before the Q&A service is activated?
Hello Tiago Bro 🙏, I learned a lot from you ❤
One question - Have you stopped using Evernote as second brain ? and using only Notion now ?
Curious to know. Thanks !
I'm still using Evernote heavily but Notion is great for particular use cases.
@@TiagoForte Thank you Tiago Bro for sharing 🙏

Came to the comments just to see how many other people noticed the 'Ayahuasca experience' 😅
Hi Tiago! Am new subscriber. Thank you for sharing. 🌟🧡
Does it support languages another than english?

It's also quite easy to migrate notes from Evernote to notion, there are specific import setting dedicated for import from Evernote.
@@izba-chitalnja good to know! I’ll keep that in mind and not over complicate things when I migrate this weekend 🙏🏼
Actually Evernote does have it's own AI tool

Eventually this can become a reality! Can't wait.

Now I am angry at myself that I captured in Obsidian and not Notion 😂
Same but playing with the Smart Connections and CoPilot AI plugins in Obsidian. I just struggle with multi-note prompts. Have you tried these?
I gave it the exact same prompt as you and asked what other information I had in my notes, this was it's response: I'm sorry, but I can't provide the information you're looking for. As a language AI model, I don't have access to your personal files or notes. I can only generate responses based on the information you provide in the document, selection, and instructions sections.
Gamechanger
Still seems gimmicky. It’s just not there yet. Search function seems far more useful for now.
Tell us about your Ayahuasca experience, Tiago!
If only Notion could read attached files to answer a question... 😢
Elon Musk if he dedicated himself to note taking instead of building rockets.
