Notion is an all-in-one workspace for pages and databases to manage projects and information. Many use it as a "Second Brain" for capturing ideas, organizing work, and keeping notes. Notion AI helps users work faster with their content.

Program Description

One month of access to Notion AI will be provided.

Notion is a workspace platform that combines databases, pages, and flexible content into a single system for managing information and projects. It is widely used to build a "Second Brain" - a personal knowledge management system for capturing ideas, organizing work, and maintaining notes and resources. With Notion AI, users can now process and work with their information more efficiently.

This workshop shows how Notion AI can enhance personal knowledge management workflows. Participants will receive a pre-built Second Brain system and learn to accelerate it with Notion's AI features: AI Block, AI Agent, AI Search, AI Meeting Notes, and AI Properties. The session is hands-on, with participants working through practical exercises such as restructuring rough notes, developing project outlines, summarizing meeting notes, and doing automatic research - all with the help of Notion AI.

Throughout the workshop, participants will build a functional AI-powered Second Brain they can use in their daily work.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop, participants will have the opportunity to:
- Discover how Notion functions as a Second Brain for knowledge management.
- Use AI Block to summarize, rewrite, and structure content.
- Work with an AI Agent to develop ideas and create project outlines.
- Apply AI Search to find information across their workspace.
- Use AI Meeting Notes to summarize meetings and extract action items.
- Set up AI Properties to categorize and process database entries.
- Customize AI Agent instructions for specific purposes
