Best for teams already working in Notion. Summarize, draft, and rewrite right on the page, or search the entire workspace with source links. Individuals can start today by upgrading. However, it cannot touch external emails or files, and the free tier only offers a brief trial.
Ideal if your company runs on Office and Teams. Summarize open Word docs, get action items after Teams meetings, and skim email threads in Outlook. Results save directly in native file formats. However, it costs $30/month per user, needs admin setup, and outputs often need manual editing.
The choice comes down to where your data lives. If docs are in Notion, pick Notion AI; if files and emails are in Office 365, pick Copilot. Notion allows instant solo sign-ups, while Copilot requires company admin rollout at $30/month per user. Set internal file permissions before adopting either.
