Building Notion in EMEA

[Ivan Zhao @ivanhzhao]

The future is open memory, open context.

[Alexis Rivas @alexisxrivas]

We've tried Granola, Plaud, zoom/teams and Notion for automated transcription based meeting notes (mostly for in person) & summaries.

@NotionHQ was the best. Anything even better out there?

I fear it’s becoming a Notion phone.

"I'm going to run circles around the competition because of this.

It's starting to feel unfair to the people that don't have this.

This is the silver bullet for my company."

People don't realize what @NotionHQ has built out with their Notion AI and Agents.

This is what the founder of an AEO agency said 4-week into working with me to build out her Notion AI and Agent set ups.

This is not surface level stuff like "summarize this page."

This is AI pulling from structured pages and databases every time it responds.

If you set this up strategically, you are lightyears ahead of everybody else chasing the newest viral AI tool.

Here's what it comes down to:

→ ChatGPT and Claude have memory. That's not the problem.

→ The problem is they don't have a good way to *index* information for future use and recall it as needed.

→ Notion solves this because context lives in structured pages and databases AI can search, reference, and build on. It's indexed by default.

Pull the future forward by focusing on what actually matters:

Building a Central Hub where you, your team, and AI work out of together.

Does your business run in Notion?

DM me for ideas of how you can set up Notion AI and build Notion Agents that do your work for you, while surfacing interesting insights you're missing about your business.

A lot of great ships at @NotionHQ in 2025 that I was proud of. This one was not flashy, not AI, but the most meaningful to me. Pages now load in 1/3 less time (1.9s → 1.3s). It took a lot of patience, craft, and god-forbid regressions to move a big metric like this for all our users.

Investing in eng foundations is something we'll continue in 2026, as everything else is built upon it.

The best way to learn what customers want is to try to sell them something.

Jeff Bezos: "Those quarterly results were fully baked three years ago. Today I'm working on a quarter that will happen in 2020, not next quarter. Next quarter is done already and it's probably been done for a couple years."

Love this. @rogerfederer wasn't always the slam-winning machine. He was the man who couldn't close the big deal. https://t.co/jWmQZ5XyJH
