Cole Bemis

Today is my first day at @NotionHQ! I’m joining @mschoening’s team as a design engineer to explore AI workflows. Excited to share more soon

So good 🔥 I've been using the simple and dumb one all the time

@andymadrick this is very good boss

maybe one day

@cquanu Yes! This is on our radar

@colebemis can we have something to see any chats of a page that we are currently viewing? Or chats started from that page. What chat made the edits, provide summary, etc.

For the past few months, we've been building a new way to interact with Notion — a standalone Notion AI app. We'd love for you to try it 🖤 This is my first project at @NotionHQ and it's been sooo much fun!! Only the beginning :) Give it a try: testflight.apple.com/join/m2kxP5cw

@geoffreylitt 100% slippery slope was the ultimate jazz band project

best advice i ever got for leading creative teams: "it's a jazz band, not a sports team." instead of trying to "win", get curious: what new music will emerge from this unique group of people?

@JezzaGunnerX @NotionHQ @NotionCoach has a good video on it youtu.be/k1jhSEzpAbk

@colebemis @NotionHQ are there any good tutorials?

Presentation mode in @NotionHQ now supports the Table of Contents block ✅

@JezzaGunnerX @NotionHQ yup! x.com/randyjhunt/sta…

@colebemis @NotionHQ Hang in Notion has a presenting mode?

@HandlerItai @NotionHQ Will look into it. Thanks for flagging

@colebemis @NotionHQ All the ui components still sticks to the left At least when it presented two days ago like bullets, callouts stuff like that

@HandlerItai @NotionHQ Which part is broken in RTL?

@colebemis @NotionHQ Can you also fix the RTL there?

@cquanu @NotionHQ 💡 I like that

@colebemis @NotionHQ How about floating toc in slide mode for faster slide change?

@charlieholtz nice 🔥

Small improvement of the day → ⌘⌥C to copy chat as markdown

@effyyzhang @pifafu @brian_lovin Brian always has his thinking cap on

@pifafu @colebemis @brian_lovin lol Thinking hat wins

dashboards is a serious feature for overviews, but you can also have fun. TIL that @colebemis and frens are tracking @brian_lovin's hat choices HAHA

@pifafu @brian_lovin can’t take credit. this is @sarahmsachs’s masterpiece

@ryannystrom @brian_lovin @tan_stack @shioriapp What are you building with convex? 👀

@brian_lovin @tan_stack @shioriapp You’re making me want to try but convex won me over

Set up @tan_stack DB + Query Collection for @shioriapp this morning and oh my god the app is so fast now. I tested with 20k link records make sure power users would have a near-instant app experience. I'll be hunting for edge cases, but so far so good...🔥

@hunvreus It uses Git LFS. So you only clone pointers to large files and load them on demand github.com/lumen-notes/lu…

@colebemis Nice, I’ll have a look. Curious how this works with large repos though, especially with lots of images.

I've dropped Notion. I'm now just using PullNotes.com, which gives me a very similar interface, but saves markdown files in a GitHub repo. I find it more reliable than Notion in many cases, and more importantly easier for me to collaborate with an AI (it's just markdown and Git). It now supports image upload, drag and drop reorganizing of pages, real time updates, merging, and a dozen other things. Try it out online (PullNotes.com) or deploy your own copy, it's open source: github.com/hunvreus/pulln…

Let’s go 🔥

✨New demo: what if vibe coding felt more visual? @brian_lovin @maryrosecook and I did a game jam using Notion as our "IDE": launching Cursor agents from a task board, and making a custom image for each task 😎 The demo shows 3 ideas for the future of agents: 1) Agents should collaborate across apps. Each app has its focus--Notion AI is good at drafting specs and organizing tasks; Cursor is good at coding. So let them specialize! Today we're launching a new integration where Notion AI can kick off Cursor Cloud Agents to do coding tasks. The Cursor API accepts natural language prompts, so I think of this as "cross-app sub-agents" -- it's kinda cute how it resembles humans hiring outside contractors 😊 BTW: the parallelism of cloud agents is incredibly freeing for creativity, but it also creates a new problem: sooo much work to keep track of! Which brings us to the next idea... 2) Agent orchestration is a data visualization problem. A powerful frame for designing agent UIs is to think of the chat transcripts as the "raw data" and ask: what visual projections might help people make sense of this data at scale? We need to engage our human GPUs -- our visual processing -- to understand what the computer GPUs are doing for us! One thing we can do is use AI to populate traditional UIs like progress bars and status updates. But there are also new possibilities now... For example: when you have a lot going on, it can be hard to identify tasks just by text titles. So we tried generating an AI image for each task -- turns out this helps a lot by giving it a unique visual identity! And of course, it also just makes it super fun to build with friends 😃 Speaking of friends... 3) The future of coding is collaborative. Sometimes it feels like IC engineers are being reduced to middle managers: shuffling information between the team's context and the coding agents that they individually manage. The solution: bring all the people and agents into one shared space, with shared context and visibility! In the video you can get a glimpse of how this feels. Mary, Brian and I record ourselves chatting about ideas, and then we use AI to turn that conversation into a list of tasks on a shared board. As the ideas get built in parallel, we can all monitor progress and review the work together, nothing is siloed. My main takeaway from this game jam was: damn, creativity with friends, at the speed of conversation, is incredibly fun. --- Our goal here is to let anyone use Notion as a fun and creative "software factory" to build software together with your team. Give the Cursor integration a shot and let us know what you think! (AI Image gen in Notion isn't GA yet, but coming soon and already out to some users) And let me know if you'd want a template or more detailed instructions on the setup we showed in this demo...
