Notion AI is nothing like ChatGPT

And it’s important you chose the right tool for the right job

We are at the beginning of the democratic AI age. They are becoming more and more accessible, and their use is spreading. It’s an exciting time, because progress is fast, and new tools are popping up all the time.

Usually, though, ‘new AIs’ are ‘new tools using AIs’. And most tools are actually plugged into GPT-3, the AI powering ChatGPT, which I’m sure you are familiar with already.

It’s the case of Notion AI.

Except if you want to use Notion AI, you now have to pay. It’s around $10/month/user. ChatGPT, on the other hand, is still free.

They have a paid option, but if you have a bit of patience and don’t need it all the time, the free option will be more than enough.

If ChatGPT and Notion AI are using the same AI, why should you pay for it?

Here’s why : because ChatGPT and Notion AI are different.

The same AI, in a different context, is a totally different tool

The essential difference between ChatGPT and Notion AI is the context:

  • Notion AI is plugged into your personal universe — the page you are using it on.
  • ChatGPT is plugged into everyone’s universe — the internet.

And so if you enter the same prompt on ChatGPT several times, you will have results that are not fundamentally different. The information will likely stay the same, only to differ in small ways : format, length, links…

But, if you enter the same prompt on several pages of your Notion, where you already wrote something, you may have totally different results.

Or, in the word of Notion AI:

Notion AI is tailored to understand the context of each individual Notion page, so it can suggest content that is perfectly relevant to what you’ve already written.

Can you still use Notion AI like ChatGPT? Sure, you can ask it questions and it will answer. But you will probably get better, more though-out answers from ChatGPT. Since it is designed for this purpose specifically.

And if you do, you will need to write a very specific prompt, adding the context, since ChatGPT doesn’t have access to that information.

If you need help with that:

Notion AI is a solid writing assistant.

Specifically because it is plugged into your universe.

Notion AI is right where you need it to be : where you are writing. And that’s why I personally find the $10 fee a bargain.

Even though, the ‘per user’ is harsh news of big companies using Notion with hundreds of people. And you can’t just get it for a few people. It’s for the entire workspace, or no one.

It saves me a loooooot of time and energy by doing all the little things I don’t particularly enjoy.

Here is a non-exhaustive list :

  • Editing my text
  • Adding capitals to my titles
  • Extracting actions points for conclusions
  • Formatting for a twitter thread
  • Generating alternatives titles I can use as inspiration
  • Deleting emojis I added everywhere
  • Transposing style from third to first person
  • Defining terms quickly

I also started using it more recently to check if my story makes sense by summarizing my page. So I can quickly see if I make sense, and if my main point comes across.

And finally, I can quickly turn a list of points into a text that I can share if I don’t have time to write it all, or if I want to start working from a text instead of a bullet list.

I do that for sales pages, and product pitch.

The text generated is way too cheesy and generic for my taste, and probably wouldn’t work because it lacks the personal touch, but it’s a starting point. And more than once, I was actually impressed.

‘This is actually kind of good, let me just… add my weirdness to it’.

And I had a sales page ready in a fraction of the time it would have taken me to write it all down myself. Because I would probably have procrastinated it a few days.

Don’t have an excuse now, since I only have to ask what I want.

That’s why Notion AI and ChatGPT really are two different tools

And you should pick the right one for the right task.
