The problem it solves

When a Notion page gets a long comment thread, it is hard to catch up on what was decided without reading every reply. You end up asking teammates to repeat themselves or missing a decision entirely.

Who it fits

A team that collaborates through comments on a shared Notion database.

How it works

  1. Checks your Notion database on a regular schedule
  2. Looks for pages with new comments since the last check
  3. Sends the comment thread to an AI model to summarize
  4. Writes the summary into a page property
  5. Records the time so it only summarizes new activity
What you get

Comment threads distilled into a quick summary

Busy comment threads on your Notion pages get summarized automatically so nothing important gets lost.

What you get

An always-current AI summary sitting right on the Notion page.

What you need

A Notion account and an AI model API key such as Google Gemini or OpenAI.

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.
