How to Use Notion AI

Staring at a blank page is the hardest part of writing β€” Notion AI can draft a starting point for you, so you only need to edit and refine it from there.

  1. Press the spacebar on an empty line

    On any empty line in a Notion page, press the spacebar to bring up the "Ask AI to write" prompt.

  2. Pick the AI action you want

    Choose from options like "Write a blog post," "Summarize," or "Translate" from the menu that appears.

  3. Describe what you want written

    Type a short description of the content you need, and Notion AI generates a first draft based on it.

  4. Review, then insert or regenerate

    If you like the result, click "Insert" to add it to the page; if not, click "Try again" for a new version.

Why It Helps When You Do Not Know Where to Start

For meeting notes, brainstorming, or a first draft, having AI produce a rough starting point removes the friction of a blank page, letting you spend your time editing and refining rather than staring at a cursor.

Working with Existing Text

AI features are not limited to writing from scratch β€” select any block of text you have already written and use the AI menu to summarize it, translate it, fix tone and grammar, or expand a short note into a fuller paragraph.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Notion AI free to use?

A limited number of free trial responses are included, but continued use requires subscribing to the Notion AI add-on separately.

Can it summarize or translate text I already wrote?

Yes, select the text as a block, then choose "Summarize," "Translate," or a similar option directly from the AI menu.
