User reviews
Switched our internal workflow to Notion AI after the last pricing change. Nobody noticed a quality difference, and the bill dropped by half.
The default build is the sweet spot. Anything larger needs serious hardware for marginal quality gains.
Solid for workspace knowledge. The learning curve is real but the payoff is there. Start with the smaller build first.
Clean interface, consistent results once you land on a prompt you like. Wish there were more export presets for client handoffs.
