With AI meeting notes, Enterprise Search 2.0 and the research mode, the new Notion version 2.51 brings three groundbreaking functions that fundamentally change the way teams work.
The version released on May 13, 2025 positions Notion as a comprehensive platform for knowledge management and intelligent automation. The focus is on the seamless integration of AI capabilities into everyday workflows, putting Notion in direct competition with specialized tools such as Otter.ai and enterprise search solutions. The new functions enable companies to capture, search and use information more effectively – a decisive advantage in the increasingly digital world of work.
With the new /meet command, users can capture audio from any source, be it virtual meetings, face-to-face conversations or external media. The AI not only creates verbatim transcripts with timestamps, but also structured summaries with action points that can be seamlessly integrated into Notion databases.
AI meeting notes: more than just transcription
The AI meeting notes feature already supports 16 languages, including Japanese, French and Spanish, and uses advanced Whisper v4 transcription technology. Unlike standalone tools such as Otter.ai, the summaries integrate directly into Notion databases, enabling automatic task creation and project tracking. For example, a sales team can link call summaries to CRM records, while educational institutions can turn lectures into study guides.
The market for AI meeting assistants is estimated to be worth 2.5 billion dollars in 2025 and is growing at an annual rate of 25%. Notion’s unique selling point is its ecosystem integration: 72% of users report faster project follow-up activities when notes automatically populate task databases.
Enterprise Search 2.0: unifying fragmented knowledge
The advanced search function now indexes Microsoft 365 (Teams, SharePoint), Google Workspace (Gmail, Drive) and Linear, with beta support for Zendesk, Salesforce and Box. This complements existing integrations such as Slack and GitHub and introduces OCR recognition for PDFs, eliminating the need for manual document analysis.
The enterprise search sector is expected to reach 14.56 billion dollars by 2032 (11.1% annual growth) and focuses on contextual understanding rather than keyword search. Notion’s advantage is its search mode, which aggregates cross-platform data into reports – for example, compiling competitive analysis from internal documents, Salesforce records and web scraping. Early adopters like Planful report 40% faster onboarding with AI-curated guidance.
