Notion AI Meeting Notes has gained significant attention since its launch this month. As a Notion user and creator since 2022, let’s explore this new feature.
Notion AI Meeting Notes is available as a Notion block on any Notion page. To start, type /meet on any Notion page, join a meeting from your Notion Calendar, or Notion will send a gentle reminder when it automatically detects meetings.
Note: You cannot start Notion AI Meeting Notes in the browser; it is only available for use on the Notion app and requires a Notion business plan (starting at $20/user per month)
On the moment you consent to start recording, Notion AI Meeting Notes will listen to the mic and system audio and will pick any word you are speaking.
When finished, you click Stop, and Notion will generate a full transcript of what is said in the meeting. It also will generate a separate notes tab for manual input during the meeting.
The first impression of this feature is that it is lightweight and works well for webinars or 1-1 coaching meetings.
What can do Notion AI Meeting Notes?
Notion AI Meeting Notes will add a transcript to all that is said in the meeting. It does not depend if the meeting was in Zoom, Teams or Google Meet. In all cases, it records the audio and helps you summarize and transcribe it.
What makes this feature very well integrated is that you don’t need to export it anywhere; everything happens on the same Notion page. You can format it there, tag people, and link to databases.
Currently, you have the meeting notes stored in a Notion page. You can later use Notion AI to ask questions about the transcript. Additionally, as it is part of your entire workspace, not just one meeting, you can organize all this in the same system, including tasks, projects, OKRs, and meeting notes.
Notion AI Meeting Notes can’t transcribe pre-recorded audio or video files. It works only on real-time meetings, as it captures what you are saying in the moment.

Features of Notion AI Meeting Notes
- A setup for Notes, Transcript and Summary. This fits well in a Notion page. You don’t need to open another app. The workflow is naturally integrated in Notion.
- You can tag a member of the workspace by typing @@ and create follow-ups, just as you can on every Notion page. If you are already using a Notion Workspace or a System, you can integrate it there.
Hint: We’d like to suggest integrating a button in the database that starts AI Meeting Notes. Customize it to simply click ‘Record Meeting Notes’ for every meeting in the database. - It works with anything that plays audio: You’re not limited to Zoom or Google Meet. It works because it captures system audio.
Some pitfalls of Notion AI Meeting Notes
As far as we have noticed, there are some cases where Notion AI Meeting Notes is not a suitable option. These are the cases when the meeting has many participants, part of the team or clients. This is because it records and transcribes the voice, but it cannot detect who the voice is. Therefore, it does not distinguish between voices or the tone of the voice.
Another thing to consider is that Notion AI Meeting Notes does not capture video or screen share. It’s audio only.
As we mentioned above, there is no tone of voice. Therefore, you can’t control the tone of the voice in the meeting note, as it is presented in a neutral form. If you want to add nuance or personality, you need to edit the transcript manually.
Conclusion
The newest feature of Notion is perfect for solopreneurs, coaches, and freelancers. If your entire business is already part of a Notion setup, the Notion AI Meeting Notes fit very well.
However, if you manage teams, participate in external calls, or want to know what was discussed, you’ll likely feel this feature is not the optimal one.
