Introducing Notion AI
Notion · Nov 2022 · 1:24 · AI-annotated
The video opens by typing the product name inside the Notion UI, then runs a chain of short feature demos, each kicked off by a slash command and a typed prompt with the AI output revealed line by line. Its style is defined by locked-off near-black frames, blur-and-recede transitions between beats, and a pixel hand cursor that drives every click at a steady 117 bpm cut rate.
