Someone on the r/Notion subreddit just asked, “What is Notion” — and I answered.
I think it is worth sharing my response with you all here, so this is what I said:
“Notion is like a Swiss Army knife. It has many functions & features that allow you to handle just about any situation (though dedicated tools for a specific endeavor might work best depending on the end goal).
It is a no-code development tool for backend systems that allows you to create a helpful source of truth, serving as a document wiki, a project manager for process-driven workflows & other bespoke use-cases.
It is a great start for people who are unfamiliar with databases that need to learn & implement them in some capacity.
It is not, I repeat, it is NOT a Productivity tool.
It is a suite of building blocks & templates that provides you with the means to configure your own productive systems, with an incredible level of modularity & flexibility.”

Honest question for the Notion users in here:
When an AI agent connects to your workspace, what does it find?
Organized databases & data sources with clear relationships and described properties? Or a collection of pages that made perfect sense when you made them but wouldn't make sense to anything else reading them now?
I promise you more structure helps.

The Notion Agent has gotten quietly powerful and I don't think enough people have caught on yet.
It reads your databases. Understands your schema. Answers questions about your data with context that used to require you to explain everything from scratch.
For a music catalog, that means asking "which tracks have incomplete metadata?" and getting an actual answer — grounded in your specific records, not a generic suggestion.

If anyone is running a business on Notion & you’ve been wanting to dive deeper into its capabilities, maybe configure the new Custom Agents or leverage the MCP, but haven’t had the time to understand its nuances & build out your workspace…
I am open to taking on 1 client amidst everything else I’ve got going on.
I have another potential client call soon, and those 2 may be my max for the season. It’s not cheap, but the workflow improvements will be drastic in favor of your operational efficiency.
Sincerely,
Your favorite lyricist who just so happens to be a Notion certified consultant 🫡💯

I think about The MUSIC OS Template Series I've been making, as future-compatible infrastructure.
Not just for today's workflows, but for workflows that don't exist yet.
AI agents are already better at traversing structured data than most people realize. The artists with clean, structured metadata for their music will have an serious advantage, and ideal operational efficiency for the admin work their music requires.
Most others will keep sharing context from scratch.

Real question: how many of you already use Notion for something?
Notes? Tasks? Projects? Second brain stuff?
Curious how many people might be looking to add The MUSIC OS to an existing workspace vs starting fresh.

You’re not disorganized, you just don’t have a proper system yet, one capable of modeling the data in a way that’s accurate to your endeavors.
There’s definitely a difference.

If you’ve ever said “I know I have that info somewhere” more than twice in a week, that’s a systems problem wearing the costume of foggy memory.

Using Notion’s upcoming Custom Agents feature to help me properly format my lyrics! 👨🏾💻
My fellow music artists will understand how tedious it can sometimes be to make sure that your lyrics are properly formatted for submission to distribution platforms, and making them available for your fans to read.
With this custom agent, I’ve got a system down to help streamline this process for me!!
You’ll need to be on a Business or Enterprise level Notion plan in order to access its AI for when it releases, but when leveraging this alongside of everything else you can do in here, it’s easily worth it! I’m not kidding when I say this is 1% of its powers 😆
(Yes my forehead was the perfect canvas for my captions 😂🤣)

Been procrastinating on getting out this next version of the Music OS, and even implementing the new version for myself.
But that changes today. Speaking it into existence now so I can take action on it, I will at the very least, get my own instance of the system in place & migrate my records from the previous version into this new setup!
