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).

🐞 Fixes & improvements

• Citing a message you sent will bring back the context discussed.

• We’ve limited the number of synced databases to 20 to keep Notis as relevant as possible. Let us know if you need more!

• You can now saved your preferred language. Just ask Notis to remember it.

• Notis will let you know if one message you sent was rejected by the WhatsApp API

🗞️ 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!
