Foundations for Designing a Notion AI Workspace
summary
Shows how a workspace is rebuilt from a nanoscopic blank canvas into a structured OS with information architecture and database row-level permissions controlling access. Demonstrations use Notion Agent and enterprise search to scan hundreds of items — one demo surfaces four pages needing review; another parses 516 results (352 Slack messages, 164 Notion pages) to auto-create a project report. Also details a central hub pattern (learn / share / product releases) used at OpenAI and metrics for tracking AI adoption.
