Notion challenge for this weekend: you can only use Notion with your right agent chat - the rest of the UI is lava 🔥 great exercise to explore the power of the new Notion Agents s/o to Akshay Kothari for sharing this one during the community ama

what's your favourite Notion AI workflow with the new agents? 🤔 working on a big use case round-up video this weekend 💪🏻 just heading back from Make with Notion in Munich, perfect time to work on a script 😇

What's better than one Notion event? Two back-to-back Notion conferences 😍 So excited to be here in Munich today - if you're here, say hello and drop by my talk later! We'll share some really cool tips on how to make the most of Notion AI using the ACDC framework 😎

The map view is now live in Notion! 😍 Simply add a location property, search for a place and have it render on an interactive map 💪🏻 Works amazingly well in combination with the new Notion agents!

❌ Notion is... dead? That's the headline of the email I just sent to 36,352 people Wanna know what it's about? let me know below and I'll forward it to you (please connect first so I can DM you)

Notion just dropped its new databases - probably the update with the biggest confusion potential of 2025? So... what's happening? Databases evolve to database containers Meaning you can now have multiple data sources in one database block

Matthias
@matthiasfrank.de

(i.e. you could have contacts, companies & clients all in one database) but... should you actually use this? or are the downsides too big at this point? I mapped out how we will use this update to build Notion systems going forward

Let me know if you'd like to see the full walkthrough (and our reasons behind it) for this style of Notion Architecture (make sure to connect so I can message you)

🇪🇺 EU Data Residency is here for Notion! 😍 This is a huge step forward for adoption in EMEA - really excited to see this! For now, access is still a bit limited unfortunately: - need to be on enterprise plan - need to have "sales assistance", i.e. more than 100 seats

Matthias
@matthiasfrank.de

Outside of that, it's not yet easily possible to switch data centers as a self-serve customer, but that's hopefully now just a matter of time 😇 checking one more thing of the bucket list before the big conference in a few weeks ... I wonder what they'll release there? 😎 Any guesses?

new Notion update: you can now move the comment section on pages below the content 💪🏻 To do so, go into the Database Layout Customisation menu and then choose the location 😇

New Notion Update - you can now mention groups in people properties! 🔥 Love to see this small but meaningful change For now, the functionality is still a bit limited, mostly because the all-important "Me Filter" doesn't trigger based on groups.

Matthias
@matthiasfrank.de

That means you can't yet set group ownership and then have it inherit down to the individual "what's on my plate" pages. So for now, more of a nice-to-have than a workflow change But keep your eyes peeled 👀

Your Notion might be at risk... (... and yeah, AI is partially to blame 😅) with the new AI features rolling out in Notion, we'll unlock A TON of cool use cases But if you work in a team, then this is your last chance to improve security before things get really messy

- aaand even change database structures (oh sh**) Already before this change, the first thing we did in every new client workspace was to make sure those security settings are correct. And now that users can also accidentally have AI make these changes, this is more important than ever.

Matthias
@matthiasfrank.de

Because while you can't turn off certain AI features yet, AI will respect user permissions. So if the user can't make a change, AI won't make a change on their behalf. sooo... time for a security audit? 😅 is your workspace AI-ready?

Now, what's the background? Notion AI is finally getting the skills to do things for you. it now can... - search through databases (finally!) - create new pages (pretty cool) - update page content (uh oh) - update database entries (... wait, really?)

Matthias
@matthiasfrank.de

I'm thinking about open-sourcing our brand new Notion Design Principles - the big picture approach of how we approach our client projects anyone who would be interested in that?

Matthias
@matthiasfrank.de

Sooo this just happened... my Notion started writing the most complex formulas for me 🤯 new update just dropped today and it's absolutely insane with just one line of prompt, it's able to one-shot really complex formula logic

Matthias
@matthiasfrank.de

things like "calculate whether our OKRs are trending up or down based on the last 3 reports" or one of the classic "problems" of Notion formulas: how to calculate someone's next birthday (I'm serious - look for this on reddit, there are dozens of threads about this formula challenge)

It's Friday! quick challenge: what was your favourite AI workflow this week? I'll start 👇🏼 had an amazing session with Jacob from Relay on how to set up a more robust content system for linkedin (plenty of amazing AI use cases in that one)

Matthias
@matthiasfrank.de

I knew I needed a bunch of databases in Notion to track that... so I asked the new agentic Notion AI to set things up. One mega prompt. and then I just watched it... - set up a backend - add 5 different databases - create the required properties - set up smart views

Matthias
@matthiasfrank.de

- and link the databases to each other it even added sample data to each database to that it's easier to visualise how the system would interact. absolutely crazy what Akshay & the team at Notion are building here
