Changelog & monthly updates

Hi there 👋

It’s Flo here with our monthly update of what we’ve been up to in April (ok, I'm a couple days late, I know 🤷). Here's what's new this month:

💌 New channel: emails

I'm super excited about this guys. Whether, we like it or not, emails are an integrant part of our workflows - for some more than others. I personally rely a lot on emails - I use Superhuman and follow a strict zero inbox policy pretty much daily.

Recently I came to realize how powerful having access to Notis directly within my mailbox could be. Here's the use case that hit me hard and led us to launch this feature today. A few months back, we started hiring for a few different positions (we still are!) and my inbox started getting flooded with candidates' applications. "How cool would it be if I could outsource all this tedious work of sorting out candidates to Notis," I thought.

Now I can and so do you. Here how you can use our new email channel by taking my recruitment example:

Make sure Notis knows your correct email address. You can just ask.Create a new database called "AI engineer applications."Create as many fields as criteria you want to measure candidates against. For each field, add a description to ensure there is no ambiguity, e.g., "True if the candidate has more than 5 years of experience coding in Python," "True if the candidate is within the CET +5 timezone," etc.Create a view to only display the candidates that match your minimum criteria.Start forwarding applications you receive to hey@notis.ai or set a forwarding rule.

For every email you forward, Notis will understand that the email is an application and that you have a database to store those applicants. When trying to create a new entry, Notis will need to complete the fields based on the information selected. Congratulations! You've outsourced candidate filtering to AI.

Of course, this is just an example, and as always with Notis, the possibilities are endless. Other cool stuff that the email channel supports:

When you ask Notis on WhatsApp/Telegram to send you an email, you can now continue the conversation (with all the context) by replying to the email. This is super useful for following up on drafts.You don't need to forward emails for this to work. You can start a normal conversation with Notis by email to do everything you already do with Notis on other channels.Images and documents, whether attached or inline, are fully supported.

As always, I can't wait to hear what you do with this so don't hesitate to shoot me a message (Telegram, Whatsapp) with your favourite use-cases.

🚀 GPT 4.1 and GPT o4-mini

This month, OpenAI launched three new frontier models. We've upgraded all our users to the latest and most powerful models after testing them internally and being very impressed by the increase in intelligence. Here are the models we've selected for you:

• GPT 4.1 is replacing GPT 4o as our go-to model for all your agents. It's the most intelligent non-reasoning model to date and also supports vision capabilities.

• GPT o4-mini is replacing GPT o3-mini as our planning model. While it's not as intelligent as the new o3, it's also 10 times cheaper, three times faster, and significantly more intelligent in our tests than o3-mini.

This is again a peek into the future of Notis - with or without everything we invest in making our product more useful and more reliable, foundational LLM models will keep getting better, and this will directly impact the level of intelligence demonstrated by Notis.

👾 Our new Discord community and public roadmap

Since we launched, I personally onboarded most of our paid users, and this will continue to be my priority until I feel we fully live up to the capabilities of Notis in terms of video tutorials, documentation, etc. (more on this really soon).

But many of our users asked for a place to gather and exchange ideas, tips, workflows, etc. So this month, we're launching our Discord server. Looking forward to continue the conversation there.

We're also giving you more visibility on our current roadmap and let you vote on the features you want to see us build next.

So there is no better time than now to get your voice heard and help us shape the product you want.

🐞 Other small improvements

• You can now pause audio played in our Raycast extension.

• Full transcripts are back in Notion documents and emails.

• Improved reaction status for Telegram. You can now see exactly which messages are being processed and which have finished processing.

🗞️ In Other News

• I recorded an interview with Molly Jones from notionology.com where I share the story behind Notis, my vision and how creators/consulants will play a major role in it. Watch it here!

• I published a deep dive comparaison on our blog between Notion AI and Notis and between VoiceNotes.com and Notis

• I took a full week off to enjoy my beautiful island. Yay 🎊

• Notion lawyers contacted us 😱 to demand that we update our logo, remove the illustrations we own but imitate the style of Notion, remove all Notion logos from the website, and finally ask us to redirect all links to templates to their template store instead of the creator's website. We'll comply with all their requests, even the ones that feel stupid and unfair, because we're just too worried about losing access to their API.

• I created an other super cool animation for the website 👏

Hi there 👋

It’s Flo here with our monthly update of what we’ve been up to in March.

It’s been quite a rocky month for Notis as we brought a lot of deep infrastructure changes in production to help us scale Notis in the long run.

Here is everything we released last month:

🔍 Notis Gets Smarter: our New Agentic Engine

Notis is a multi-agent AI. In plain English, Notis is actually a collection of highly specialized agents with high agency that collaborate to handle your tasks. For example, when you ask Notis to compile a research report on the best AI image generation model, here's what happens in the span of 1-3 minutes:

• The "triage agent" decides which agents should work on the task and briefs them.

• The "context agent" searches for existing sources within your Notion workspace and performs a perplexity web search in parallel.

• The "upsert agent" will create a document and save it in the correct place in your Notion workspace.

• The "response agent" compiles all the answers into a single message or a single voice message.

This new architecture (and everything we built to support it) will allow us to constantly improve and add capabilities to Notis without making Notis less reliable in the process.

Bringing this live meant that we basically rewrote Notis' 20,000 lines code base in March. So a huge thank you to everyone who contributed to help us ironing this out. We truly have the best users!

🚀 Turbo Mode for Telegram

We strapped a rocket to our Telegram bot and it's flying. More seriously, we're testing some radical infrastructure changes on Telegram that double the speed at which Notis can answer your queries. We're confident we can eventually bring this to WhatsApp as well. For now, we're committed to bringing all Beta features first to Telegram; so jump to our Telegram bot if you want to test out new features first.

 Notis on Mac: our New Raycast Extension

I originally created Notis to assist me when I was out and about with transcribing my thoughts and keeping track of my tasks. But as she became more autonomous, I found myself delegating more tasks from Telegram on my computer. But this felt like too many clicks to get the job done.

Raycast has been my favorite Mac app for years. It's quite like having superpowers compared to people who are not using it. So earlier this month, I hijacked their hackathon to develop my own Notis extension.

The result is a sick way to delegate anything to Notis - one that is always a keyboard shortcut away from whatever you're doing. Equipped with voice response, Notis gets back to you very naturally whenever the job is done. Watch a quick demo here and download here.

🐞 Other small improvements

• You can now assign people to tasks with Notis.

• We're now indexing your Notion pages - not just databases entries.

• Notis has stopped changing the icon when updating a document.

• You can now ask Notis to remember your timezone.

• If Notis misspells some words repeatedly, you can ask her to add them to your dictionary.

🗞️ In Other News

• This french Notis user made a killer review of Notis

• We have a new status page and changelog page. Yay 🎊

• I spent way too much time create this animation for the website 😅. Can you guess what's coming next?

📰 AI News & Team Picks

Here's everything cool we saw happening this month in AI:

🤖 Google Gemini 2.5 Pro Goes Live: Google's Gemini 2.5 Pro landed, their smartest AI model yet. Even agains OpenAI own benchmark, it's a leap forward.

🚀 DeepSeek Steps Up Its Game: The same day, DeepSeek dropped a significant upgrade to its DeepSeek-VL model, improving multi-modal reasoning big time.

🎨 OpenAI’s New Image Generation Goes Viral: OpenAI launched a much needed update to their image generation model. The world went crazy for its ability to mimic Studio Ghibli’s iconic style on people's own family photos.

📈 Anthropic's Economic Insights: Anthropic released fresh insights from Claude 3.7 Sonnet, highlighting cool trends about how industries are actually using AI. Great read for AI economy enthusiasts.

⚡️ Cursor’s MAX Mode for Claude 3.7 Sonnet: Cursor introduced MAX mode—maxed-out thinking, tool use, and context management (200k tokens!). It’s proving seriously good at helping me code Notis 🤯

That's it for this month. See you in May!

Hi there 👋

It’s Flo here with our first monthly update of what we’ve been up to in February. It’s been a busy month to say the least! Make sure to check out our AI news and team picks at the bottom of the email.

🤦 Whatsapp + Telegram

Last weekend WhatsApp cut our access to their API - both to Notis and our support account. As always with big tech, there was no appeal and no one to reach. After a long weekend we brought Notis back online on Telegram.

Today we bring Notis back to WhatsApp on a new number 🤫.
Which platform would you want to see next?

🔔 Notifications

You can now set recurring notifications (both to WhatsApp and Telegram). Even things like: "Remind me to stand up and dance for exactly 2 minutes every weekday at random intervals between 9 AM and 6 PM to break my routine.

🧠 Notis Tasks

Even more interestingly you can ask Notis to perform tasks for you at regular interval (like chatGPT tasks but on steroids). This is by far the most powerful feature we have shipped to Notis so here's a few example to give you an idea:

• Send me a summary of all my tasks I completed during the week every Friday at 5 PM.

• Send me a quote from my book database every morning at 9 PM.

• Send me a daily gratitude exercice based on my last journal entries every day at 10.30 PM.

• Save a new entry in my competitor research database every Monday at 9 AM with the updated price list of all my competitors. Use the last entry as a template.

I strongly encourage you to combine this with our next most powerful feature: the ability to give instructions to Notis directly in the description of your Notion database and fields.

I can't wait to hear what you'll build with this! Make sure to drop me a message.

🌐 Perplexity Deep Search

Just last week Perplexity announced deep search and we're bringing it to Notis. Just ask something along the line of "can you do a deep search on all platforms that support Telegram and Whatsapp for customer support and create a new document in my Notes" and Notis will go browse the web. Combined with your Notion knowledge and I believe it's a killer feature even though I still believe that OpenAI own implementation is unbeatable; hopefully they bring it to the API soon!

📄 Documents

You were many to request it, and we made it - you can now chat with any documents you upload directly in WhatsApp or Telegram. Just send or forward your document to Notis, and it will temporarily replace your Notion workspace as your main knowledge base until Notis detects you've moved to a new topic. Ever want to get back to it? Just reply to the document, and we will bring back its context (this now works with any message you sent too).

🗞️ In Other News

• I posted a video on connecting Notis to my Rayban Meta (kind of regret the kind words after they cut our API access during the weekend now...) 😂

• Ibr join the team. We're now two! As a Notion ambassador he knows the platform in and out and will start by helping me scale our affiliate network within the Notion community. 🎉

• We got featured in TAAFT as the number one tool of January. So in a sense Notis is miss january... We also sponsored an issue of @superhuman_ai with mixed results (still my favourite AI newsletter though). 🥇

• I posted this short video on the three levels of AI maturity when it comes to Notis. 📹

📰 AI News & team picks

Here's everything cool we saw happening this month:

• 🎤 wisprflow.ai gives you a shortcut to transform any speech to text on your computer. I tried many such apps, that's the best implementation because it's fast, adjust to my context, is not overly complicated and hopefully I can convince them to let me build a Notis extension.

• 📝 Notion release two great features: (1) Notion AI can now create databases for you and (2) you can add database views inside database entries (this guy explains it better than me)

• ⌨️ Raycast, my favourite Mac app, dropped AI extensions - a way to give Raycast extensions as AI tools. I think it has amazing potential even though it hasn't found it's place in my own workflow yet.

• 🤝 Granola, my favorite online meeting recorder, has released its Notion integration. You can now save all your meeting notes in Notion with a click, making them neatly available for Notis and Notion AI.

• In about a month, we received three new frontier models (o3-mini, Claude 3.7, and GPT-4.5)! However, the real breakthroughs are occurring at the software engineering level, where agents like Notis are becoming smarter even with the existing models. For example, Cursor amazes me every day.

That's it for this month 😅

See you next month!
