Keep a Notion knowledge base searchable with AI chat

Whenever a Notion page changes, it updates a searchable AI index so chat answers always reflect your latest content.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each content chunk.

The problem it solves

Your team's knowledge lives in Notion, but finding the right answer means searching through pages by hand or asking around. Keeping any kind of searchable index up to date manually is a job nobody wants to do.

Who it fits

A team that maintains a Notion knowledge base and wants to ask it questions directly instead of searching pages.

How it works

  1. Checks the Notion database for updated pages on a regular basis
  2. Removes any outdated entries for a page before reprocessing it
  3. Combines each page's content and breaks it into chunks for indexing
  4. Stores the content in a searchable index alongside the page's identifier
  5. Answers your questions in chat using the most current indexed content
What you get

Answers pulled straight from your latest Notion pages

You get a chat assistant that answers questions using your most current Notion knowledge base, updated automatically as pages change.

What you get

Chat answers about your Notion content that stay current as pages change.

What you need

A Notion account, a Supabase project, and OpenAI API access.

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.
