Research Mode

Research Mode conducts analysis on more complex or open-ended queries. You could use it to try creating a report on a project or exploring a hypothesis you have.

To use Enterprise Search, open the Home tab in Notion, select Research at the bottom of the search window, and enter your query.

When you’re in Research Mode, Notion AI can:

• Search across your Notion workspace, connected apps, and the web. It includes Notion pages, databases, uploaded files (like PDFs), and content from connected apps such as Slack, Google Drive, Microsoft Teams, Jira, Zendesk, Asana, and GitHub – depending on your enabled Connectors and permissions. Use the All sources menu to choose specific sources for Research Mode to look at.

• Find pages in databases.

• Identify whether a page is part of a database and query it.

• Filter and sort a database based on its properties. For example, you can ask Notion AI to look at all projects in a database that are due before a certain date and have a status of In progress.

• Read database pages within a page.

Once you enter your query, Notion AI will show you the sources that it’s using to gather insights and generate a report. You can click 👍🏼 or 👎🏼 to help Notion AI improve, or ask follow up questions to continue your research. Once Notion AI is done researching your query, you can Copy the information it’s provided or Save as page to keep the report in your workspace.
