- Notion is a productivity app that has invested heavily in AI to create products that enable workers to access information instantly without having to search through their own countless notes. Today on No Priors, Sarah and Elad are joined by Ivan Zhao, the co-founder and CEO of Notion, to talk about Notions Q&A interface and calendar applications. They also get into how using RAG models means better retrieval, longer memory, and the user can be less organized and how Notion is leading the charge in this era of SaaS bundling products.

Ivan is a cool dude, observed his journey since the formation of Notion in the beginning. Mad respect.
Huge!
Regarding 20:30 discussing RAG as underappreciated - Wild that just a week later with Gemini 1.5 that RAG is sort of not needed given 10m token window, and a path to expand that token window even further.
14:36 is the key quote from Ivan: that GPT-4 was like a dinosaur seeing an asteroid hitting the earth, signifying the massive change to come. Quite an illustration, particularly if $1 trillion plus in spend on customer service and sales, and beyond, gets digitizing and rethought in the coming years.
A fascinating person and thinker. But guys, invest in someone who knows how to setup your microphones. Otherwise great content, thanks for your work.
Exactly my thoughts. This podcast deserves a producer
