Drafting Docs & Pages

5 prompts

Draft a Project Brief

1/30

Add sections for Objectives, Scope (in and out), Key Milestones, Risks, and Success Metrics. 3. Use Notion-friendly headings and bullet lists, not dense paragraphs. 4. Keep the tone clear and decisive, no filler. </task>

πŸ’‘

Pro tip: Highlight the generated brief and use Notion AI’s "Make shorter" if a stakeholder wants a one-screen version.

Outline a Long-Form Doc

2/30

<context> I need to write a long-form document about [TOPIC] for [AUDIENCE] on [YOUR PAGE]. The desired length is roughly [WORD COUNT] words and the goal is [GOAL]. </context> <task> 1.

Flag any sections where I will need to add data, screenshots, or examples. 4. Suggest a title and a one-line subtitle. </task>

Gives you a complete heading structure to write against instead of a blank page.

πŸ’‘

Pro tip: Generate the outline first, then place your cursor under each heading and ask Notion AI to "Write a draft of this section".

Write a Standard Operating Procedure

3/30

<context> I am documenting a repeatable process on [YOUR PAGE]. The process is [PROCESS NAME], performed by [ROLE], triggered when [TRIGGER]. The desired outcome is [OUTCOME]. </context> <task> 1.

Add a short summary at the top capturing the 3 main takeaways. </task>

Database Content & Formulas

5 prompts

Output only the category name. </task>

Auto-tags database rows using only your predefined category options.

πŸ’‘

Pro tip: Restricting the model to your existing select options keeps the property clean and prevents duplicate tags.

Generate Database Item Descriptions

14/30

Knowledge-Base Q&A

5 prompts

Answer From the Workspace

21/30

<context> I am using Notion AI Q&A to search across my workspace. My question is about [TOPIC] and I expect the answer lives in pages related to [PROJECT/AREA]. </context> <task> 1. Answer my question: [QUESTION]. 2. Base the answer only on content found in the workspace. 3. Cite which pages or documents the answer came from. 4. If the workspace does not contain the answer, say so clearly instead of guessing. </task>

Gets a sourced answer drawn only from your connected Notion workspace.

πŸ’‘

Pro tip: Use the dedicated "Q&A" mode rather than inline AI so it searches all connected pages, not just the current one.

Find the Latest Decision

22/30

<context> Decisions about [TOPIC] are scattered across multiple pages in my workspace. I need to know the current, most recent decision and avoid acting on outdated notes. </context> <task> 1.

πŸ’‘

Pro tip: Keep canonical policies in one parent page so Q&A consistently points people to the authoritative source.

Synthesize Across Multiple Pages

25/30

<context> Information about [TOPIC] is spread across several pages in my workspace. I want one consolidated answer rather than reading each page separately. </context> <task> 1.
