Prime Highlights:
Notion unleashes its native AI meeting transcription feature, disrupting tools like Granola.
The feature allows users to transcribe and summarize meetings within the Notion workspace.
Key Facts:
The feature launches on Mac (version 4.7.0) and supports over a dozen global languages.
Meeting templates offer styles like Sales Call, Standup, and Team Meeting for neater formatting.
Key Background :
In a significant product expansion, Notion has debuted an in-app AI meeting transcription feature squarely aimed at specialized AI notetaking software like Granola. The new feature further cements Notion’s transition from a flexible workspace to a comprehensive, AI-powered productivity suite.
The transcription feature is built directly into Notion pages. It can be triggered with the “/meet” command, which will cause the AI to join, transcribe, and summarize meetings. The summaries are automatically rendered into styled templates depending on the kind of meeting—anything from loose team standups to more structured sales or client calls. This simplifies documenting post-meetings with neater and more consumable information.
It is available on Mac at the moment (version 4.7.0), and it is a multilingual transcription software that can handle English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, and many other languages. Notion has also promised to integrate it in mobile platforms in the coming future, further elevating its reach to yet more users.
This announcement comes on the heels of a string of recent AI updates Notion has implemented, including a reason model-driven research assistant and AI-powered enterprise search features. These features fall under the company’s overall objective of eliminating app-switching and workflow aggregation. By adding transcription to the base product, Notion cuts users loose from the need to rely on third-party apps, providing an end-to-end experience for note-taking, meeting management, and knowledge organization.
Notion’s launch comes at a time when AI integration is becoming a requirement in productivity software. With this launch, the company will not only be a player in the market but also a category leader offering end-to-end solutions for teams and individuals.
