Create Databases with Notion AI

+ Notion acquires Slack competitor

December 24, 2024

Hey — it’s Rames

I love this time of year—not just for all the festivitie, but also because it feels like the perfect chance to start fresh.

For me, the end of a year is all about creating order. Clearing the clutter, making things lighter. This isn’t just about physical stuff (I don’t own much anyway) but more about cleaning up my digital world—organizing my workspace, emails, to-do lists, and anything else that doesn’t need to follow me into 2025.

3 Tips

1/ Customize Notion URLs

Good news for your Notion sites: if you're on any paid Notion plan, you can now customize your URLs!

You can update the URL in the "Share" modal.


2/ Images Loading Time

While optimization updates may not be the most thrilling, I'm always happy to see Notion running faster than ever ⚡️


3/ Campsite Acquisition (Notion Chat?)

Notion has acquired Campsite! Campsite is a tool that helps distributed teams collaborate through focused, organized posts rather than chaotic chat messages.

While Campsite will be shutting down following the acquisition, this might hint at a new addition to the Notion Suite—perhaps a Notion Chat tool?

2 Resources

1/ Build Databases Faster with Notion AI

It seems that Notion is working on a feature to create databases directly from Notion AI (although I can’t share the tweet as it has been deleted 🤫)

BUT

You can still use Notion AI to build databases for you with a really easy workaround.


2/ I hacked Notion wikis
