@weichselbauml @NotionHQ Just generated a standard Terms of Service page for a website using DeepSeek Flash. 3 Select credits.

Perhaps with a blend of Auto and models, I could make it work...

[Martin Messier @notionmartin]

Looking forward to hearing more about your experience. I've been a power user of @NotionHQ AI since day 1, and was extremely wary of the switch to metered usage. However, with GLM and DeepSeek, I managed to remain a power user while keeping my monthly usage below 20%. Now, in a single day, with less than identical use (HTML generation), I ate through 10% of my monthly allocation.

Already looking for other options, because purchasing additional credits will not be cost-effective.

Actually, an idea just came to mind... I'll test how many Select credits get eaten when I choose GLM or DeepSeek rather than Auto...

@solopribuilds Continue doing what has never changed or failed no matter the market or economic conditions: helping and taking care of other people.

@Collectors_Way @welchy888 @DanielPriestley Do you honestly think he’s turn down the job because it doesn’t pay enough? He wouldn’t take the job because of the aggravation he’d have to endure from incompetent and ill-intentioned parties.

[Martin Messier @notionmartin]

@JedKMeshew Outstanding job!

[Martin Messier @notionmartin]

@cantfinesseeme @UFConParamount @paramountplus Not really. It’s the difference between Marc Goddard and Herb Dean.

@marticraki1 @staschmi Indeed

[Martin Messier @notionmartin]

@JustMMA32 That was stellar! What about the sermon he gave Aliev after? I think he just became Poatan’s favorite ref too.

@NotionHelp @colebemis, it would be cool to have a way to deactivate a user from the workspace, but keep them on the roster.

Once a user is removed, every page they've ever created becomes orphaned and unidentified in the workspace. Makes it challenging to know who created which record once a few users are removed.

@jasonfried Nice Portuguese, Jason!

[Martin Messier @notionmartin]

I don’t want to put words in @DanielPriestley ‘s mouth, but I think his point is that McDonald’s jobs are not designed to support all the necessities of life. It would be like expecting a paper route or a side hustle to do that. These jobs are designed to be professional training wheels for teens. Great for pocket money and learning, horrible to support oneself completely.

@DanielPriestley V for Vendetta in the making.

[Martin Messier @notionmartin]

Bingo! Every complaint I hear out there about @NotionHQ is from people who either:

1. Use it solo
2. Use it as a notetaking app
3. Both

Since I use Notion for CRM, project management, second brain, and as part of a team, it's not just my favorite app in my stack. It IS my stack.

[Martin Messier @notionmartin]

@firestormodk If you're thinking of @NotionHQ for solos, perhaps. For teams, there's a huge difference.

[Martin Messier @notionmartin]

There's a massive difference between voluntary giving and armed coercion (essentially the tax system).

In my opinion, that's the key difference between communism as an inevitable evolution of consciousness (I believe that, inevitably, humans will reach the conclusion that taking care of others is the smartest and most rewarding thing to do) and the authoritarian regimes we've seen around the world.

@ednevsky @NotionHQ If you're operating as a solo, what you're describing makes perfect sense. If you need governed AI, much simpler to go with Notion AI.

[Martin Messier @notionmartin]

@NotionHQ, New Rule: "Notion Agent" should be renamed "Notion Assistant."

You chat with it. It operates on demand. It doesn't do anything unless you explicitly request it.

The term "agent" is best kept for autonomy-enabled AI processes. No need for "custom." They're agents. Every agent is a custom agent, even if you copied the prompt from somewhere else.

For your new credit system, Standard is for the Assistant. Select is for the Agents.

Assistant vs Agent. Two types of AI. Way clearer.

[Martin Messier @notionmartin]

@akothari I think you should distinguish between “agents” and the “personal AI assistant.” Using the term “agents” for both creates confusion. Autonomous —> Agent. On demand —> Assistant

@colebemis @iampgzp Missing the blinking red dot on the virtual tabs when recording meetings!
