About Notion

Notion is an all-in-one productivity and note-taking application that combines documents, databases, wikis, kanban boards, and spreadsheets in a single flexible workspace. Founded in 2016 by Ivan Zhao and Simon Last, Notion has grown to serve over 30 million users globally with a freemium model.

Notion AI, launched in 2023, adds AI-powered writing assistance, summarization, and Q&A across your workspace. The platform is particularly popular among individual knowledge workers, startup teams, and students who need a flexible workspace without the rigidity of traditional tools. Notion's template gallery offers thousands of pre-built setups for project management, personal organization, engineering wikis, and more. Paid plans start at $10/user/month for individuals and $15/user/month for teams. Notion has raised over $343 million in funding and is valued at $10 billion, reflecting its category-defining status in the connected workspace market.
