The problem it solves

You want a well-organized answer to a research question, but writing it up with proper sources and formatting takes longer than the research itself. Notes end up scattered across documents instead of living in one searchable place.

Who it fits

Anyone building a knowledge base, competitive research, or notes library in Notion.

How it works

  1. You submit a research topic and question through a simple form
  2. AI searches the web and writes up a sourced answer
  3. The response is formatted with headers, lists, and source links
  4. A new page is created in your Notion database with the research name as the title
  5. The formatted research is added to that page automatically
What you get

Sourced answers saved to Notion

You ask a research question and get a sourced, formatted answer saved directly into your Notion knowledge base.

What you get

A new, fully formatted Notion page containing the research answer and its sources.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and a Notion account with an integration set up.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
